The empty spaces where your presence used to be

Joyful, exciting times now turned into quiet memories

I run to these spaces, trying to cling onto any part of you 

Yet I fall, the loneliness has consumed me once again

The wetness on my cheeks slowly begin to dry

It is said distance makes the heart grow fonder

The challenges we take we take them together 

There isn’t anything as a pair that we couldn’t conquer 

Everytime the phone screen lights up

It feels as though the ghost of you surrounds me 

The comfort, warmth, and the love I long for 

Consumes my body wholly 

The countdown of the days, the waiting wears at my soul

The days go by much slower than they did before 

Yet I keep pushing through 

The yearning of your presence keeps me fighting for more 

The loneliness sometimes feels too hard to bear

Never will I forget we live under the same stars

To remind myself that you are always there

Until we meet again
