It still hurts

It’s been long since you left me,
It’s been ages since I had a talk with you,
It’s been months since I last saw you,
It’s been long since I touched you,
It’s been ages since I hugged you,
It’s been months since I kissed you,
It’s been long since I sat next to you,
It’s been months since I ate ice cream with you,
It’s been ages since we studied together,
It’s been long since I laughed like I used to before,
It’s been months since I gave time to myself,
It’s been ages since I cried,
My smile left me,
My tears have also left me,
My emotions left me,
Since the day you left me,
Everything which was mine left me.
It’s been long…But it still hurts…….
It still hurts to be away from you,
It still hurts to sit alone,
It still hurts to have silent days 
It still hurts to have quiet nights.
It still hurts to be myself again.
It still hurts
It still hurts
It still hurts…
