When you said you wanted to leave and you left; I had no clue how to live and love without you. I did not know how to laugh, have a friend and be a friend without you. I failed the theory to understand and be understood without you. Still, I moved ahead and tried to live without you; I searched for another you all around the universe; I looked around an identical shoulder like you to cry out my sorrows. I opened my wounds, read my story loud, allowed friendship, walked in understanding so that I could be understood; I searched another you, I searched another us. I searched for some beauty that may be like you, some wildness like you if it is scattered around, some dreams that matched yours. But it has been a prolonged and an unpacifying journey; They aren't like you and I couldn't create us; They miscarry me and I abort them. Now you got to tell me how to live without you.
