How do I know you love me if you never come back?

On days our story occupies my mind, I do my best to stay close to you.

My best friend, my love. The one I search for on the dark.

I asked the ancestors about you. They said your work here was done.

I read the letters you left me. Your words make me feel less alone.

In the end, our truth was too much to bear and I lost myself when I lost you.
