Because of You

The days are long now
 longer than I remembered,
perhaps it's because you're gone
 every hour seems to lag in memories
 of a time we shared in each other's dreams.

As age slips in and the darkness grows
 my solitude begins to ache
 longing for the time that was but is no more,
too much reminiscing, living in the past
 grabbing on to the time that remains
 in this here without you.

The dreams still live
 if only in a vague haze that exists
clinging to all that still is possible
 edging into the years that are still ours
 just because of you.
