When You're Gone

The way you look at me
The words that flourish from your lips
The reasons that I miss you when your gone
The seconds are filled, everyday, with your scent
And my lips still retain from your mouth
The moisture that you left on them when you left
Be careful
Don't take my happiness with you when you leave
Don't take my broken heart in your hands
I can't live when you're gone
Your silence carried a world of words in your eyes
Your smile, my refuge from life's heartaches
It was a world in which
Only two people who loved each other
Would create a future of hope
And would play at believing in love
How hard it is to walk toward an unknown place
To get there and find out that you have left
Who can I trust, if not you
Be careful
Don't take my happiness with you when you leave
Don't take my broken heart in your hands
I can't live when you're gone
