My Love Grows In Absence

When I feel low and lost in life

two things bring me comfort,

my pillow, and her dreams,

I lose myself in both.

I wish I could sleep forever like this,

if she still lives inside my mind.

a place where all my thoughts of her,

are safe from the time I left behind.

I loved her more than I knew,

so much I lost myself in her.

She walked away without looking back,

and I stayed with what she left behind.

I gave her all I had to give,

even when I had nothing.

Among all the people in this world,

I’m grateful I spent time with her.

I chose her every single day,

without hesitation or disguise.

Loving her became the fire

tht shaped me into someone better.

I would ask just one more chance,

to love her like I did before.

Even her pain felt sweet to me,

now it's her absence I adore.

This distance is a testament

stretching across mile,

yet somehow pulls my heart closer,

giving me a reason to love her harder.
