What you left behind

It astounds me how bored
I can be in a room
full of smiling beautiful strangers
I smile and nod approvingly
to my friends as they dance
with yet more attractive women
I'm in a room full of friends
but I have never felt so alone
I miss you
And as I stare at my friends
smiling, flirting, and unknowingly
living out their youth on the dance floor
I'm reminded of all the good times
we had together
and all the joy and laughter
you left behind
when you left
