Again

Where have you gone today?
I wake up and you're not there
Again
Oh, I've found you
Withdrawn there
Or anywhere else like it
Again
I know you'll come out
When you're ready
Only to go back in
Again
But that's Ok too
We all have to find things
That define us
And give us purpose
But now you're out
Only to chastise me
Again
For not doing those things
That you used to do
Before you went in there
Again
I'll smile ruefully
And accept that this is now you
Whilst I long to hold the old you
Again
Just once
Like the way it was
Before you withdrew inside
Again
So, run back in there
Or find an invisible substitute
So you can revel the past
At the expense of the present
And our future
So, creep back in there
Or place like it
And come out when you're ready
But we won't be here
Ever again
