something's missing

no longer there

gone but just a memory

if only what we knew

wasn't so close to what we felt

and things didn't find such shit timing

vanished out of forever

now no choice but to pause

hope for something that'll never come forward

we wish for something not there

we hope endlessly

but if only there was another way to feel.
