Your Absence

Love begins with hope
It's what guides us in the night
While lying here without you
Your love provides the light

And makes me dream of you
Where my wishes are all met
My memories all filled
They are of you I can't forget

I miss all of you
And the things that haven't been
I miss all we've done
And of all we've not yet seen

I long to see your face
And your lips that I would kiss
I need to feel your warmth
That every night I miss

The pieces of your heart
When shattered became so small
My hands no longer held you
As I watched you slowly fall

Like an eye of a needle
I no longer see you now
As much as I'm drawn to you
Our fate will not allow

Yes love begins with hope
And it also ends this way
But it's now all that I hold
Ever since you went away
