I Realized You Were Gone

I realized you were gone when I came home to not find you on the couch.

I realized you were gone when I yelled your name and heard no response.

I realized you were gone when there was no one to argue with.

I realized you were gone when everyone took me seriously.

I realized you were gone when people started to cry.

I realized you were gone when I felt lost.

I realized you were gone when I started ranting about you being gone.

I realized you were gone when it was too late.

I realized you were gone after you left my side.
