Today, I lost something
It was very dear to my heart
A deep and endearing feeling
Perhaps, one day I’ll think of today and sigh
But just for today, I’ll cry
I’m not even sure what the ‘it’ is
Or what caused this empty feeling
Though it’s real and tangible to me
Perhaps, one day I’ll think of today without a tear in my eye
But just for today, I’ll cry
There are no words to describe ‘it’
For I know not whence it came
Yet I feel ‘it’ to the depths of my being
Perhaps, one day I’ll think of today and not ask myself why
But just for today, I’ll cry
I believe I saw ‘it’ coming
All the warning signs were there
Though I continued to fight the pain
Perhaps, one day I’ll think of today and the pain will have passed me by
But just for today, I’ll cry
I feel your withdrawal
You leave me more and more each day
My denial doesn’t stop the truth from consuming me
Perhaps, one day I’ll think of today and not want to perpetuate the lie
But just for today, I’ll cry
I truly don’t understand
Acceptance is so very very hard
Maybe questions are all that I’ll ever have
Perhaps, one day I’ll think of today and I’ll know why you’re slowly saying goodbye
But just for today, I’ll cry
