Absent

There comes a day in everyone’s life

Where you realize the sun rose without the sound of birds

There comes a night in everyone’s life

Where you realize there’s a full moon without any stars

There comes a time in everyone’s childhood

Where you realize you’re not innocent anymore

There comes a time in everyone’s house

Where you realize the place has lost the feeling of home

There comes a time in everyone’s relationship

Where you realize there’s a couple without a bond

There comes a time in everyone’s love life

Where you realize the love has simply disappeared

There came a time in my life

Where I realized the sheets no longer shared your scent

There came a time in my life

Where I realized the bed lay heavy beneath the weight of your absent body

Today is the time

In my life

Where I realized

I am waking up

Alone
