I began to realize that when I was without you, it felt like a part of me was lacking.  I don’t know when it transitioned from just a fling to the real thing, but a part of me got lost in us and all that I thought was there.  Where there was once love, now there is pain.  Where there was once laughter, there are tears.  Where there was once a longing to be near you, there’s now only an incentive to forget you.
