There is definitely a vacuum without you being around,
but I fail to define this nothingness,
for I am not able to comprehend
the juxtaposition of emotions,
which plays on my head with constant force
ever since we parted our ways,
and my heart is beyond my control,
for it always juts out against my wish for your arrival
and often drench me in melancholy,
even though it knows you are gone
it keeps rekindling hope
and despite all the threats and scolding
it betrays me
trusting a hollow promise you gave as a passing reference
that you will come one day
