A Cancer Called Love

I used to make long speeches to you after you left

I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone

I walked around for months talking to you

Now I don't know what to say

It was easier when I just imagined you

I even imagined you talking back to me

We'd have long conversations, the two of us

lt was almost like you were there

I could hear you, I could see you, smell you

I could hear your voice. Sometimes your voice would wake me up

It would wake me up in the middle of the night, just like you were in the room with me

Then it slowly faded

I couldn't picture you anymore

I tried to talk out loud to you like I used to, but there was nothing there

I couldn't hear you

Then I just gave it up

Everything stopped

You just... disappeared

And now I'm working here

I hear your voice all the time

Every woman has your voice
