How long has it been since your lips no longer rest on mine?<br>How long has it been since your eyes no longer rest on me?<br>How long has it been since your voice no longer says my name?<br>How long has it been since you no longer have me in your future?<br><br>I look out the window and the reflection returns your face, I look at the horizon and I can't see you. Next to me, the cold air invades the place that was rightfully yours and in my dreams, the most important part is always missing: You.<br><br>How long has it been since I last saw you?<br>How long has it been since with tears in my eyes you said goodbye to me?<br>How long has it been since the phone doesn't ring with your voice?<br>How long has it been since I wake up thinking you won't come back?<br><br>I walk through the empty streets that fill with strangers and none of them are you. I travel to the edges of thought searching for a word, a verse, a song that brings you back to me and I can't find it. I long for the past when my dreams were flooded with your presence and all my hopes were summed up in seeing you smile.<br><br>How long has it been since I don't travel kilometers just to see you?<br>How long has it been since we don't lie to the world just to spend a night together?<br>How long has it been since my soul doesn't feel the happiness of your smile?<br>How long has it been since your love isn't for me?<br><br>I lift my face to the sky and I can't hold back the tears. I close my hand and I get angry because between my fingers aren't yours. I lose myself in madness, I laugh, I think, I cry, I scream and there's nothing that's really worth it.<br><br>You have left forever and I can't make you come back. I have lost, I have lost everything I desired and longed for... I have lost you.<br><br>
