Lately

Lately I worry about every piece of bread,
about every single penny, and every single breath.

Lately I'm missing every single word
every single smile and every single hug.

These days you come but just for a while
sometimes you stay, but some say goodbye.

Maybe I wasn't meant to love back
'cuz when I start caring, it just loses track

Today I want you close and forever
but of course, now you are farther than ever.
