I've been sequestered, set aside,

I just hope that you know,

I didn't run & hide.

I've been forced to be alone &

swallow my pride,

I just hope that you know,

I've been missing you the entire time,

That I am still alive,

Though, without you, it feels like I've died.

No matter what I have done, or how hard I have tried,

None of it matters, it seems that I never can get it right.

Should've never let so much time go by,

without you in my life,

You have grown up without me by your side,

All I've ever wanted, I've had to leave behind,

I just hope that you know,

you're always on my mind,

Left with only our memories, we have otherwise been blind,
