your journey

something hurts
i don't know why
i know you are going for the right reasons

but i have been a part of you so long
like a limb of mine
you will be missing

or are you the heart that beats
the lungs that breathe the air
that keeps me alive

each day we lived side by side
taking no notice
eating our meals
drinking tea in silence
thinking it will last forever

now your journey looms

and when you go
i'll see the indentation on the couch
where you sat and watched tv
the way you left your coat
where it shouldn't be
a clean house

is a sad replacement
for the noise and life
that left

your journey
is what i brought you here for
you never were to stay for good
i try and remember this
but it doesn't make
my heart ache less
or stop me thinking of the times
that no one else can give me

your journey
is thousands of miles
over the globe the ice cap
my heart is breaking now

i can visit when i want
but you will be a different one
than he who left
i should be glad i had the chance
to experience it

but something hurts
maybe growth and change
always feel like this
