Gone Now

I guess you’re really gone now
And they tell me to push on somehow
But I’m not sure who I am anymore
In a world without you here

It’s like I’ve lost my heart beat
Can’t find the joy in anything sweet
And without you, I just watch myself disappear

In dreams sometimes I still can hear your laughter
The kindest sound I’ve ever known
But then some noise wanders in
Takes you away again
And leaves me empty and alone

I was tired of the love game
Searched to find someone who felt the same
The small talk bar scenes
And stilted friend’s schemes
All became a bridge too far

My hope had all but run dry
No longer had the will to try
Then one day, I turn around
And there you are

Now I turn around and you’ve been taken
Far beyond the point of no return
And though my body survives
I only know I’m alive
Cause I feel the longing burn

I guess you’re really gone now
Gone Now
