Since Then

​

The door is open
to a new world
and a new way,
but I don't know
what to say.

Time, like a veil of mist,
lies between us.

You are gone,
and in your passing
I lost the spark of life
that shone in your eyes.

I haven't lived a day
not thinking of you,
not dreaming of you,
not wishing
you were here with me,

and I haven't lived a day
since then.
