My Life Without You

Whenever I would think of my life without you, I always thought I was strong enough to deal with it. I would move on and forget that you ever were a huge part of me. I would think of you and feel nothing, as if you never existed. Instead, I wake up to find an empty bed. Empty of life, empty of happiness, and mostly empty of love. I find myself trying to discover you in everything. I see your face in strangers on the street. I hear your name all the time. I see your picture everywhere. I watch you walk, I watch you sing, I watch you dance and run through the park, Yet it isn’t you. I dream of you all night. Perfect dreams of us together again, Being happy, smiling, and sometimes kissing. I can’t wait to fall asleep because it’s so much better than my reality with you gone. If I open my eyes, I feel a sting in my heart. A sharp, sharp pain like a knife just stabbing me in the chest. I imagine your perfection, your smile, and laugh constantly. When I walk anywhere, I sing your favorite song. I can still see your eyes, the looks you used to give me. They always lifted my heart, and brought me up to the clouds. My life without you, its painful, lifeless. Its death and sorrow. Its misery and heartache. Why I ever thought I could survive without you is beyond me. You were my everything, without you, well life is meaningless. Whats the point in living if the one thing you lived for is gone? How did I let you go? Let our love go? Lose sight of the beauty we had already created? I shall never know. And now I’m paying the price. I’m fading in my life without you.

This is a beautiful poem. It is not easy to live life without the one you love. I know - I've been there, but life goes oin. Many blessings... Lucilla
