I went for a walk without you
Not much sun, but the wind still blew
I went for a walk without you
My feet felt heavy
And yet,
I couldn’t slow down
I went for a walk without you
Not sure if the neighbors stared
And wondered where you were
It doesn’t matter
Mind clouded, vision blurred
I went for a walk without you
And when I rounded the corner to get home
I thought I saw you outside, alone
But it wasn’t
Never could be
Still, we stared at each other in silence
In that moment
You knew
And I knew
It’s just not the same
Going for a walk without you
