In The Quiet

In the quiet of my heart, in between the love and pain, is a memory of you.

I ache.

You are gone and I will never see you again. Never hold you. Never touch you. Never love you. Never be loved by you.

I am like a child, softly crying in the dark, alone and afraid. Why did you leave me here? Please come back. Stay.

I die.

Still, life goes on without you, yet not bereft of you. I know will always find you in the quiet of my heart.
