You have held my heart for years
Of that I have been unaware
I had an epiphany the other day
I want you in my world
But time and distance
Are fighting me, hard
Every day, I wish you were here
Every day, you are not
I try to keep in touch
But each attempt is thwarted
You say you are busy
But I am starting to see the truth
Every day, I wish you were here
Every day, you are not
Every night, you fill my mind
And sleep evades me
I go back to when I last saw you
When you held me close
Every day, I wish you were here
Every day, you are not
I am trying to move on
But the hold you have on my heart
Is vice-like, strong, years deep
Maybe one day, but not today
You have held my heart for years
Of this I am now aware
Now I hold a space for someone else
In the space where you used to be
You are now a distant memory
Someone who flashes across my screen
I have let go of you
You held my heart for years
And now I am aware of only the future
