There is nothing in this world that I wouldn’t do as long as I have you.
I’d travel across the world and lay with you in the clouds while we watch the stars.
My body moves to the rhythm of your heart beat beneath my hand.
I am not enough, something is missing.
I feel incomplete.
I wake each day with a purpose, and today there is nothing.
I’m out of tune.
No graceful pep to my step
My eyes wander as if we just met.
I’ve failed you.
I’ve failed us.
I’m one step away from simply giving up.
We’ve retraced our steps and it’s suddenly out of sync.
My heart does not beat.
I do not breathe.
Lifeless and alone—I have nothing.
