Loss and Grief

Missing Someone by Lora Colon

I never met him, our paths never crossed
So what am I missing, what have I lost?
I wander in the shadows, seeking the light,
Who am I missing tonight?
Was he in the crowd, did we pass in the street?
Were we on the same train, did our eyes ever meet?
Would knowing the truth make anything right?
Who am I missing tonight?
Does he think of the girl he never met?
How cruel fate is to show no regret!
Alone with his thoughts, does he dim the light
And wonder who he's missing tonight?
Now my hair is gray, my looks are gone,
Through crowded streets I walk alone.
Remembering my youth, my thoughts take flight
Who am I missing tonight?

Loss and Grief

Missing Someone Abhimanyu Kumar.s

The heart gets calm
Memories become warm
Eyes start sprinkling
When something is missing
Someone scratches your nerves
Make you walk
Without a talk
Gets you in an ocean
Ocean of memories
Where you can either be in
Or be out from it
True happiness, or sadness
Comes from deep part
When you truly miss someone.

Miles apart, yet still so close

And we'll never have to be apart

Loss and Grief

Only in Memories

I miss you dearly, my love,
But from a distance, I will keep.
For it is in memories,
That I find solace in my sleep.

Your laughter echoes in my ears,
Your smile etched in my mind.
I hold onto these moments,
Hoping one day, I will find.

The courage to face reality,
To see you again and not fall apart.
But until then, my love,
I'll keep you safe in my heart.

Loss and Grief

Longing for You

Days go by, and I see the sun rise,
But nothing compares to your shine.
Nights fall upon me, and I close my eyes,
But nothing compares to your embrace divine.

I long to see your face,
To hold your hand and feel your touch.
I long to hear your voice,
To laugh with you and feel so much.

But distance keeps us apart,
Our love put to the test.
Yet, I will wait as long as it takes,
For our reunion, the ultimate quest.

Until then, I'll hold onto memories,
And cherish every moment spent.
For in my heart, love forever grows,
And with it, the hope we'll reunite again.

Loss and Grief

A Piece of My Heart

You are missing from my life,
A piece of my heart gone astray.
I wander through the days,
Hoping you'll come back and stay.

It's as if a part of me is missing,
A void that can't be replaced.
I search for you in every place,
But your absence leaves me dazed.

The memories we made together,
Still bring a smile to my face.
But the longing and yearning I feel,
Can't be satisfied by any pace.

So I'll carry on, my heart incomplete,
Always missing you by my side.
For you are the missing piece,
That leaves me feeling unaligned.

Loss and Grief

The Void of Your Absence

I wake up every morning with the void of your absence
It's hard to ignore this hollow feeling I get
I miss you more than words can express
It's like my world has lost its brightness
And I can't seem to find a way out of this mess

I miss the way you used to laugh
The sound of it echoes in my head
I miss how we used to talk for hours
And how we never ran out of things to say
I miss how you knew all my favorite songs
And how we would sing along every day

I miss the way you cuddled me
Whenever I needed a warm embrace
I miss how you used to wipe away my tears
And how you promised to never leave me in fear
I miss your gentle touch and your tender kiss
And how we used to dance in the rain without any bliss

I miss how you knew all my secrets
And how you never judged me for my flaws
I miss how we shared our dreams and passions
And how we found comfort in each other's pause
I miss how you knew all the right words to say
And how you always made everything okay

Now that you're gone, everything feels different
Life seems to have lost its luster
It's like the world is grey without you
And my heart aches with pain that lingers
I try to pretend that it's all okay
But the void of your absence just grows bigger

I wish you were here to share this life with me
To hold my hand and be my guide
To take away all the pain and sorrow
And to make everything right with your love
But now that you're gone, I must find a way
To embrace the void of your absence each day

As I go on this journey without you
I know that someday we will meet again
And that thought brings me peace and solace
And it's something that I can hold onto
But for now, I'll just embrace the void of your absence
And continue to miss you with every breath I take.
