Missing You Already
by Ben Ash

Have you ever had a friend so dear,
the thought of them gone killed inside,
the mere idea of their pain tore you apart,
and you would rather die than see them cry?

Have you ever been so in love
that all else when compared lost meaning
and your heart became so alive
you couldn't help but be forgiving?

Have you ever thrown yourself in the way
of problems they would have to face
simply take them all away
and leave them in their happy place?

Do you torture yourself inside
because you know you are so in love
and you cannot help but submit to the spell
of your angel from above

Have you ever cared about yourself at all
when considering things for them
if you have, you simply cannot grasp
the impression I attempt to tell?

If you care about yourself at all
when it comes to this special girl
then you cannot comprehend
the pain of someone else being your world.

And yet this is your paradox,
a puzzle locked without a key
to break this spell, you must hurt them
a reality that can never be.

If this is true, all I have said
then tell me now what to do
or simply think to yourself
for one day it could be you.

Do not take lightly the impact you have
for when you leave you create a wake
and for some who love you so damned much
that can be too much to take.

You left me here, all alone
without a place to turn to
I love you now, I'll love you then,
but I am simply lost... without you.
