Awakening

by Kevin C. Morris

 

It's a cold awakening to find you gone
Now I have no choice but to move on
I often wonder why I kept it inside
I could have told you, but I never tried
It's too late now, anyway
My last chance was yesterday
You'll never read this, you'll never know
So I've just got to let it go
You were there, and now, you're not
I lost the chance I never truly got
Without your smile, mine has faltered
I guess you didn't leave my soul unaltered
I know that it's time that I move on
But it's a rude awakening to find you gone
