Away

Long walks,
Deep talks.
Back when smiles were free,
& living was easy.
Remember those days?
Well...
That day seems so far from me now.
You seem so far,
So out of reach,
Yet you're so near,
& held so dear.
My heart aches for you.
...No...
The person you were.
Where did you go,
Oh, how I'd love to know.
Where did I go?
All those changes,
Different stages.
& what a fool I was...
Never even thought it through.
It's all too late.
The deed is done,
Now I'm living in shun.
Never to be thought of again.
& all that remains,
Is your picture on the dresser,
As feelings stay the same.
But alas, my love...I cannot speak for you.
