Lately

Hey there, Strawberry.

Haven't seen you in a while;

haven't heard your voice all this time.

Lately, I spend my days waiting,

for the night to crawl over

So I may slip,

into the temporary oblivion

that it brings.

Lately, I wonder.

What really happened, what transpired

'cause it happened fast.

I couldn't hold you a bit longer, 

I couldn't catch a last glimpse,

the last time when we met.

I see you in my sleep,

I see you during the day

while my heart struggles, 

keeping certain thoughts at bay.

Lately, my love

I haven't been doing very well.

As far as my heart can tell,

thoughts of regret, and an incredible sadness

fills the void,

that is my life, without you in it.

A heart, heavy with grief,

heavier than the heaviest stone

waits for you.

Come back,

come back to me.

You're the light of my life,

in your absence,
there's nothing but strife

Nothing but strife...
