Empty space

Do you miss me too?

Like I do every day

Do you still think of our memories? 

Together with sounds of laughing 

Do you go back to the beginning?

When I was small and new

Do you replay the day I was born?

When things were simple

Everything was in place

And the darkness was far away 

At least for me but maybe not for you

Did you suffer in silence?

Keeping secrets to yourself

Did you need a distraction? 

If so, from what

Did you try to recover?

But you weren’t quick enough

When you slipped into the rabbit hole

Was there nothing to hold onto?

But the one thing you’re most proud of

Is me being a part of you.
