As I Sit Alone


As I sit alone, apart from you,
I dream only of you being here
How I miss your presence
The laughter, the talk, the love
I am so alone without you…

I go through the daily steps
The same ones as if you were here
But my life is empty, temporarily missing
The integral part you play in it.

They say absence makes the heart
Grow fonder, but I must disagree -
I could never be more fond of you,
And I am so incomplete with you gone.

Never, my love, would I have imagined
I could be in shoes such as these.
Never could I have imagined a love so deep
So true, so fulfilling, so complete.

I shall never quit being myself, nor shall I
Ever become dependent upon you.
I shall, however, continue to love you more
And more with each minute that passes…
And I shall never become accustomed to being apart from you.
