lost without you

I used to follow,

follow the footprints you left behind,

I use to step into them,

my feet sinking into the soft ground,

my eyes never losing sight of you,

always following

you

I used to train my heartbeat to match yours,

my pulse racing faster 

and my heart beating harder,

just to keep up with you

I used to dance,

moving my body to the music you made,

twirling until the night stars would fade

into dawn

dancing 

until I was out of breath

for you

now that you're gone,

I have no rhythm to dance to,

I have no footprints to trace.

and my heart,

I think,

I think my heart

has stopped beating,

altogether.

Because, you see,

I'm lost without you,

and 

I'm running out of time

to find myself again.

Where did you go?
