Absence Expounds

Thinking of all the times we’ll never be
Walking together along the sea
Drifting away under stars we can see
It felt so damn right you in a hammock with me

Imparted into a life we can’t trace
Daydreaming about time lost in that place
Constantly distracted in this rat race
When every other thought is filled with your face

Impossible for me to continue to pretend
I ever wanted to just be your friend
Shuttering at the thought this has to end
So I’ll continue to write until we might amend

Yearning for strength amongst the clouds
When climbing mountains or dancing in crowds
Missing your touch dampens the sounds
The definition of suffering your absence expounds
