The Zii Factor
How do I explain how desolate life feels without you?
The heart craves your presence and the eyes search only for you.
You're gone, maybe not forever,
But this feels like eternity.
How do I tell you how lonely I feel even with a contact list full of names?
People who would speak.
Yet I wait for just one thing,
A long conversation with you.
Yes, I'm alive without you.
Still breathing, still eating, still doing the things survival demands,
While petting my restlessness and feeding the void.
I know the remedy, but life won’t let me have it.
How do I tell you that you gave meaning to my colorless life?
You added the zest to it.
I’ve never been that happy in my life
The way just your presence made me.
There are and will always be times, whether good or bad,
And I pick up my phone to tell you.
But soon, I’m reminded that you have your own responsibilities to care for,
And this era is not the same.
I ask myself every day, what shall I do with this ache?
Because only his hugs could fix me,
Only his pep talks could comfort me.
He is, was, all I need.
Life feels hollow without the Zii factor.
But I can't find it, it's gone.
Still, I search, hoping it will return one day,
Maybe somewhere in the quiet.
