I reached for you, but you were never here
I felt your heart beat, but I never heard it
Your voice was gentle and kind, but it was no voice at all, just a silence in the room
You brought light into my life, but it was not the light of life, it was the reflection of elsewhere
Where were you when you were here?
Where are you now that you are gone?
The hollow echoes from the empty space are silent without your laughter
The darkness that shadows every step I take is not the darkness, but your missing light
The silent whispers of secrets between us were not secrets at all, rather whispers into an empty world
The joys that we shared were not memories to remember, but agonies to be relived
The flicker of hope
The touch of your hand
The feel of your body close to mine
The friendship that was ours
Gone now in yesterday
For there was no one there
There was nothing to share
It was beyond my reach
