That Day You Were Gone


The day that you left me,

I have been abandoned ever since.

Sometimes I dream that you embrace me,

Gently whispering the words of reassurance

And restoring faith in me

I find that heavenly.

 

Sometimes I was curiously aroused by you

Are we gonna last forever?

And love endlessly?

But turns out these was just my fallacy

And my wishful thinking.

 

Ever since you left me,

Nothing seems to make sense.

I still see you everywhere I go,

Your shadows following me

The sky painting your face,

The bird chirping your name.

Everything reminds me of you.

After all this time,

I haven’t genuinely been alright

since you said goodbye.
