Because of you, i forgot what its like to be sad.
You forever placed a smile on my face,
a twinkle in my eye

Because of you, I was never bored.
Even if we weren’t together.
The thought of you was always enough.

Because of you, I grasped what its like to love;
to want someone else’s well-being over your own.
To lust after the touch, sound, and sight of another person.

Because of you, I was restless.
I’d want to always stay up, babbling to you about nothing
or just lie down and reminisce.

Because of you, I perceived complete content.
I felt so much bliss.
I never imagined that it could end.

Because of you, I now know disappointment,
the feeling of absolute despair,
the drop of your stomach, the loss of appetite.

Because of you, I’m still restless.
Always replaying our moments together
asking myself, “Could I have changed the outcome?”

Because of you, i know what its like to love;
even when the feeling isn’t mutual.
Wondering if it was all a game to you.

Because of you, i’m forever bored.
You’re not texting me about your day,
I don’t have your presence to look forward to.

Because of you, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be happy.
Even if there is still forever a smile on my face,
or a twinkle in my eye,

because of you, its all a lie.
