Seventeen Days and Nights

For 17 days
i couldn't see your smiling face
For 17 days
i couldn't feel your warm embrace
For 17 nights
i cried my self to sleep
For 17 nights
the wound in my heart was so deep
For 17 days
I had lost my soul
For 17 days
I was out of control
For 17 nights
there was no goodnight kiss
For 17 nights
it was you i did miss
For 17 days
i was like a lost sheep
For 17 days
all i could do was weep
For 17 nights
for you i did scream
For 17 nights
the moon did not beam
For 17 days
you were not by my side
For 17 days
I barely survived
For 17 nights
i was in a state of madness
For 17 nights
i drowned in my sadness

and on the 17th day i could breathe at last
because when i kissed you this was just the past.
