Absence

It hits me without warning

Your reflection walking by,

but I know it's only in my head

because your not really there

Just an image in my mind

I can’t help, but wake up noticing

that you’re not there

When I first get up

I see your goofy smile

I hear your contagious laughter

And for just a second

I am genuinely happy,

But then I remember

That your just an image in my head

When I’m on my way to work

I see you in the passenger seat

I can hear the conversations we would have

And for a moment

I am happy,

but eventually I have to park the car

and I hear the sound

of only one door being shut

And every time it seems

Like someone is hitting me

Upside the head with a brick wall

You’re kind

You’re charismatic

You’re caring

And you’re not here

because you’re just an image in my head

Exiting my life so fast

It seems like You never existed
