I Need You

Do you remember the love we used to share?

Days would seem like minutes.

Your smile would live in my memory

Which made it impossible for me to frown.

Then you were taken from me.

Another man

Uncontrollable circumstances

I don’t know.

All I know is that you’re gone.

If you could see my eyes,

You would see that they have been emptied of their tears

And now sit as a void.

Days now seem like years.

Why?

Why am I loves little punching bag?

Please come back.

At least to my memory.

YOUR FACE IS FADING FROM MY MIND!

No, please, at least leave me your image.

Well, if you must go,

Always remember

I loved you.
