I cannot stand by myself, I need you by my side to keep me up.

You are the one keeping me sane, keeping me alive.

Your love is helping me grow stronger, it helps me to live through each day.

Without you I am nothing, merely a spec in the vast desert of sand.

When you are gone, I weep until I sleep.

Tears rolling down my cheek, I listen to the music.. Your favorite song plays.

Listening to it over and over, I am lost inside my own thoughts of you.

Wishing you were here, wishing I could see you.

Yearning to hear you voice a last time.. Before you leave.

Missing your voice, missing your soft touch against the hardened cheek.

Waiting for your return, cannot leave this spot, not once..

I fear I will miss the chance we will meet again, I fear you will never return.

I cannot live without you, I cannot survive on my own.

I cannot escape from your friendship, I don’t want to escape from you.

Waiting night and day, a single flower weeping in my hand with my eyes.

It’s beauty once there, now limping and falling to the ground.

Standing, waiting for your return, through the cold, through the hot, I’ll never stop waiting, I’ll never stop caring for you.

My life comes to a halt, my feelings are kept inside, you see this as friendship.. I see it as something else.. wishing it was something else.

I cannot let you go, I cannot breathe without you, don’t leave me.. Don’t go away.

I beg you to stay, but you go anyway, I beg you to speak to me, but you ignore me.

I cry myself to sleep at night, thinking of you, cradling myself to slumber as warm tears soak the sheets.

Everyday I wait, in the same spot we used to meet, I wait and pray that you will come back to me.

Returning home, nothing to live for, nothing keeping me alive, not a clue why you left but you did.

I sit alone in the silence, house a mess, dead inside, staring blankly at the floor with droopy eyes.

No phone call, no knock at the door, not a single peep while I weep and eventually fall asleep.

Everything is second, you are first to me, why can’t you see that?

You never come to me as I wait, I wait, the winter clutching the earth, holding your favorite flower.

The wind blows and carries it away once it hit’s the ground, I leave the spot once more, crying my eyes out for you.

Your favorite song is stuck in my head, the harmonious melody playing over and over again to the sound of my tears.

Going back to the spot, almost blind yet I find my way, a gentle hand is placed upon my breast and a familiar scent fills the nostrils my cold body.

“It is you.. You have come back for me” spoke a very shaky voice, breath visible as you rest against my almost dead body.

Speaking in words I recognize, it is you.. My heart, my skin, my clothes turn bright.

Dead arms place to your back, holding you and keeping you warm, forgetting about myself.

You have returned to me, you have saved me, you love me once more.

Holding me with your love, keeping me above the clouds, I smile through frozen lips.
