Everything Changes But You

how can I explain?

how can I describe?

leaving me destitute

turning me into an empty shell;

I am wide awake

but my world is half asleep,

voices telling me to carry on

but I am swimming in an ocean all alone;

I tried to go on like

this never happened,

but where I am going

is anybody’s guess!

I will not question

what has brought you here to me

but some how, some where

it was meant to be.

with every step that I take,

I am more confident than before;

a thousand miles apart, I might be,

yet you will still be in my thoughts;

all good things must end,

as life is forever changing,

as I stand here, with emotions running deep,

I have nothing else to say

I have no words to comfort you

I hope everything changes but you;

as I sit here, pen and paper in hand,

wondering about all that happened,

together, forever we will stay,

because you know in your heart

that I will love you always;
