My bed feels so empty
Without you by my side
Never thought it would hit me
This hard when you're not mine

And to never be alone

My heart and soul feel complete
And safe from all harm

Love

Empty Arms

My arms now feel so empty,
Without you here to hold,
I long for your embrace,
Your warmth, your love, your mold.

I ache with every breath,
As I try to ignore,
The longing in my heart,
That only you can restore.

How much I miss you dear,
Words cannot express,
The depth of my despair,
As I long for your caress.

So until we meet again,
I'll hold you in my heart,
And cherish all the memories,
That we had from the start.

Love

Lonely Nights

These lonely nights I spend alone,
With nothing but the echoes of your voice,
To keep me company in this empty home,
That once was filled with love and joy.

I miss your touch, your kiss, your smile,
The way you made my heart sing,
I long for the comfort of your arms,
And the happiness that they bring.

How much I miss you every day,
Is more than words can say,
But I know that we'll be together soon,
And that gives me hope to hold onto.

So until then I'll count the hours,
And dream of our happy days,
When we'll be reunited once again,
And life will be filled with rays.

Love

Reminiscent Hearts

My heart is filled with memories,
Of the times we shared together,
They bring both joy and sorrow,
As I long for sunshine and good weather.

I miss the way we used to laugh,
And the comfort of your embrace,
Now all I have is silence,
In this empty, lonely space.

But even in these darkened hours,
I hold onto the hope,
Of seeing you once again,
And being able to cop.

Until then, I'll cherish every moment,
Of the love we shared so true,
And focus on our journey,
Towards a life that's bright and new.

Love

The Empty Spaces

The empty spaces in my heart and in my bed,
Remind me of the words I should have said.
I miss you more than words can express,
My heart aches with the emptiness.

Your voice, your touch, your loving embrace,
All serve as painful memories that I cannot erase.
Every moment that passes feels like forever,
Our separation feels like a lifelong endeavor.

The nights are long and the days are cold,
Without you, life seems dull and old.
The world seems to have lost its shine,
Everything seems meaningless without you as mine.

I remember all the moments we shared,
The laughter, the joy, the love we bared.
Everything seemed perfect when we were together,
But now, I feel incomplete, like a bird without its feathers.

I miss your gentle smile and your warm embrace,
The way you made me feel like I was safe.
I miss our talks, our walks, and our dreams,
Without you, life seems like a never-ending stream.

Every breath I take reminds me of your scent,
I feel your presence everywhere, every moment.
But the truth is that you are not here,
And nothing can replace the void you leave, my dear.

I wish I could turn back the hands of time,
And hold you once again, make you mine.
But reality hits me like a sledgehammer,
And I'm left alone with my thoughts, a silent clamor.

I miss you more than words can say,
I hope and pray that you'll come back someday.
Until then, I'll carry on and keep you in my heart,
Hoping that someday we'll never have to be apart.
