Something Is Missing Without You

My heart aches …

And my soul remains despondent …

The rest of me just resembles a former shell of itself—a now unfortunate collection of cursed molecules that no longer understands its place nor purpose in this universe. There was actually a time when I sincerely believed that my sole purpose in life was to love you with everything that I had within me. And I did that … I swear I did.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough.

So now I’m empty … left with nothing but a heart that still aches, and a watch that reminds me of happier times.

I officially hate this watch now.

It’s as if I can hear the second hand obnoxiously ticking … TICK … TICK … TICK … TICK … always ticking; always reminding me of the precious seconds that have slipped away since you were last in my arms. (2 months, 5 days and 17 hours to be exact.)

You know, my mother once told me that time heals all wounds; but neither time nor distance has proven to be an adequate remedy for this dull pain that now consumes me. This incessant suffering has led me to the realization that the only thing that’s capable of alleviating this pain is you coming back to me.

So I pray that you’re somewhere reading this; and I selfishly pray that you’re in search of a similar cure for your own case of the blues. If that be the case, then stop reading this right now, and just come see me.  I’m sure that our love can overcome whatever problems pushed us away in the first place.

But if that’s not the case … and if you’ve moved on and are now comfortably settled in a beautiful life without me, then I pray that this message self destructs—forever wiping itself from your memory.

So until the time comes when our paths either will or won’t cross again, I’ll be here … waiting on you … hopeful that my distant lover will come back home.

    Get Over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Damn, it took me a year / 5 months and two anniversary dates – to remember that my life is more important than the – knife she stuck into my heart – they day/moment/second/ she sent me out the house (under the pretense of a temp. separation…)

    Life has more meaning now /// my days coming home to “no one” but myself; have a perpetual ring of truth, peace and purity to it. -  My future is brighter ( though more cautious now) because (hell, anyone can fool ya !!!)

    My truths are – pure : my motivations – concise.. The best “revenge” IS LIVING WELL…

    Karma is a bitch and I do not wish bad on anyone – but my blessings flow in abundance now. people say I’m happier / warmer and even my career has soared.

    LEAVE that looser in the dust. IF (Big if) they were worthy of your time, life and emotions; you’d still be together… HER loss! It’s just a little BRUISE — (all things heal with time) :: you just haven’t given it enough yet!

    THINK it – BELIEVE it! and it will be so!    Be ecstatic about what life has in store for you – and as sure as night turns into day – so shall the more beautiful moments in your life – will be.
