Miles Between Us

My heart still breaks
when someone mentions your name.
Time may have passed
but it's still not the same.

Days pass in silence,
Nights come and go.
I'll never get to tell you
what I needed you to know.

They say grief subsides
as time goes by.
Then why does it still hurt,
Do I keep wondering why?

I've made peace in places
And strides in ways I feel.
But there's a barrier I hold up
So much I conceal.

I can be happy
and hide it so well.
But the day you passed
was the day my heart fell.

Memories imprinted,
Devastation seeped in.
Still I ask myself
where I should begin.

Because it's so hard without you
I often think that you're around.
I see you in my dreams
Although your loss is profound.

And I'm trying to get past it
But I miss you so much.
I still can't accept
Accept that we're out of touch.
