Away Astray and Gone

I look at our pictures

and I miss you.

I think of our memories

and I love you.

I wish we were close

and I cry.

I hope that one day we'll be together again

and I feel joy.

I want our friendship to be strong

and I try for you, for me, for us.

I loved the way things used to be

but now things are different.

Now things have changed.

Now I have to learn to live without you.

Now I've realized that no matter how much

I wish, I cry, I try, you can't come back.

But I still love you.

And I always will.
