My mind races with thoughts of you,

Traces of the past that seem brand new.

Sure, memories are sweet and dear,

But they can’t replace you not being here.

This situation I do lament

For all the time that was never spent.

Time passes and so does pain,

But I feel as if I have lost a gain –

A gain of your love and affection

Of which you showed with little or no detection.

Although I still ache with fire and water inside,

And though thoughts and memories aren’t pushed aside,

Know that you hold a place in my heart,

For there, you and I are not far apart.
