Since you:
My sleep has been more restless
My laughter a little desperate
My thoughts a little less wanted
My dreams far more haunted
My voice a little more sad
My days a little less glad
My time a little more lacking
My smiles a little less happy
My life a little more empty
Id quod est per se esse.
