When You're Not Here

When you're not here
there's only me
to know
that you're not here.
And I know
the difference
when you're not here.

When you're not here
there's this empty place
where you should be.
And I feel
that something
is missing
when you're not here.

When you're not here
I feel so alone.
And nothing can fill
that void
or take your place
because of you.

When you're not here
there's just pictures
on the wall.
And when I
look at them
they remind me of you.

When you're not here
I miss you
so much.
And I long
for you
to be here
where you belong.
