quiet in our town

YOU NEVER NOTICE HOW SOMEONES CHARACTER AND HEART CHANGES THINGS UNTIL THEY ARENT AROUND TO DO IT ANYMORE. THEN THERES JUST THE ACHE THATS LEFT. AND WE TRY TO FILL IT, BUT TO NO AVAIL. NOTHING CAN COVER THAT HOLE. AND THE HARDEST PART OF SAYING GOODBYE IS HAVING TO DO IT AGAIN, EVERYDAY. NO MATTER WHERE I GO IN THIS TOWN YOURE THERE TO GREET ME, TO WALK WITH ME, TO SMILE THAT SMILE THAT SAVED ME. BUT ITS NOT THE SAME, YOUR VOICE IS DISTANT, IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT SOMEHOW. THE DAY IS TOO QUIET AND THE NIGHT NOT QUIET ENOUGH. EVERYDAY I FACE THE SAME TRUTH, THAT TIME IS SHORT. AND I STRUGGLE TO MOVE FORWARD BEARING THE GUILT FOR LEAVING YOU BEHIND. BUT THEN I LOOK UP AND YOURE THERE, EVERY SINGLE TIME. ITS MORE QUIET IN MY WORLD WITH YOU GONE AND I HOPE THAT NEVER CHANGES. I DONT WANT MY LIFE TO BECOME SO LOUD THAT I CANT HEAR YOU ANYMORE.
