"How"

How do we move on,

when each time i take a step forward,

you move away from me,

closing your thoughts and feelings,

how am I suppose to care for you,

when each time i try to comfort you,

you move away out of reach,

becoming, someone I don't know,

not letting me come, to hold you.

How do I say I love you,

whenever I say those three words,

your face becomes unknown,

letting all emotion drain out of you.

How do I tell you everything will be alright,

when I try to speak,

you turn, not wanting to listen,

leaving me there with words gone unsaid.

How can we focus on the present,

when you continue to live in the past,

making me pick up the pieces, of your broken heart.

Crying for the one we lost,

never moving forward are you,

staying where we last lost,

the one thing important in our lives,

But how do you become happy,

when the true happiness has left,

gone away not being able to share in the joy.

How do we continue to live,

forgetting the pain of the one lost,

but remembering the one that is gone.
