The One That Got Away

Now my eyes are starting to blur,

Your voice is fading like a whisper.

Time passes, but the grief held strong,

I keep looking for you all along.

Searching for you where I don’t belong,

When I see a bond I’ll never know,

Something in me blows.

The world hurts more than it heals,

No hand to guide until the end.

Your missing presence, the hardest part —

All to carry with a broken heart.

No amount of water can dilute this pain,

Was too young to give this grief a name.

Now it feels like losing my umbrella against bad weather.

Now you stay with me like a pebble in my coat,

Small but deep, helping me float.

On a sinking boat, I try to stay strong,

Carrying your love all along.

You’re the quiet in my loudest cry,

A part of me that will never die.
