Not even my book can keep it at bay
The tears, the thoughts, the aching

It wasn't so bad until I entered this room
The different, the quiet, the lonely

I think you tried to forget before your sleep
Or else let your sleep help you to forget

More so because of it I am sure
It will hurt unbearably in the morn

To watch you hurt will...
Unbearable only begins to describe

But this is the road we must travel
Push through the pain and grow

It may only be a few days
It may be forever

With any luck, hope, love
We will be the better for it

Don't mistake my words though
Love, already I miss you

Like a musician without sound
I dearly miss you
