When you are near me
I am far away
Lost in your presence
Lost in your voice.
…I am so in love with you
that I am nonexistent.
For I’ve been pulled into the depths
Of your every breath.
…I wish I were your lungs
So that you would need me…
The image of your smile
Burns like a flame
Upon my every thought.
Sleep?
Useless.
For dreams tire me,
Spent running after where
You used to stand.
But you’ve left the light
You illuminated once,
To burn bright for someone else
And I must chase after you…

Again.
