Absence (Miles Wiser)

by Jacki M Butler

Why does distance change everything?
You know you are leaving forever,
So this gives you courage?

Suddenly all the emotions come out,
All the love you've had for me,
The deepness of your soul?

If you can finally tell me you love me,
Then how can you still walk away?
How can you just leave me?

These nine years
I've told you of my belief,
That you are the other half of my soul.

How can I learn now,
That you've felt the same way
All these years and never said a word.

Why does your absence from my world,
Give you the courage and strength
To face your love head on,
And then walk away?

Author's Note: Justin, I don't know how you could just walk away without even goodbye after saying all that you said. I miss you so much and will come see you as soon as I can. I love you, you truly are the other half of my soul, I've known it since I was 15...thank god you finally realized it to
