Have you gone?

Have you gone
Away from my cuddles,
Beyond the reach of my arms, yet
I can find you
Within me and my world
Wearing a tough smile,
As if the complaints are never told,
There's a gap I cannot fill
Between silence and speech
That doesn't need to be told
Or expressed in tears or laughter, yet
I can explain, without
Speaking a word.
And I forget what shall I hold
Among all my losses, or
The soul I sold,
But don't fear O heart,
There are a thousand couplets untold.
Have you gone?
Or returned into my memories,
With the illusion of your presence,
The winter turns cold,
Come, that the verses of these songs
Cannot be retold,
That I sing until it breaks,
Or until I hold these drinks,
Until I am resold.
