Time hurts

In the beginning of our relationship
During our adventures
Id jest with the phrase
"Youve been gone for so long!"
Though it was only 5 minutes

And the days youd cook dinner
Coming back from the kitchen with kisses
Id continue the jest
"You've been gone for so long!"
Though it was at most 20 minutes

But then i had to move
And saw you less than i wanted
But the days i finally got to see you
The phrase escaped my lips
"Youve been gone for so long!"
Though it was at least 4 days

Then we broke up
How much i missed you
To the point of calling you at 1am
Only to hear your voice quiver
"Youve been gone for so long"
Being 2 months without you

But after you've passed
And how hard i grieve
Remembering the phrase
"Youve been gone for so long"
 Full of sorrow over 2 years later
