Is it Better To Have Lost?

Warmth is what makes us want to be held
But the cold surrounds us faster when we’re let go

It’s human nature to want to be kissed
But lips miss touch when there’s nothing there

Everyone wants to be loved
But love that is gone quickly dries to hate

Days become much quieter when we are waiting
For a phone call that will never come

Hearts beat a little faster
When attention isn't an exception from everyday life

Seats look so full
When we know they aren’t reserved for us

Clasped hands are so noticeable
When we don’t have anything to hold on to

The little things that used to make us smile
Are derived of meaning without someone else’s

Foggy windows don’t look like empty slates
When we don’t have any hearts to put on them

Hearts seem to be missing something
When we know that we used to have another
