How can I ever make it through
Another night alone?
Since you've been gone I've been here
Surviving on my own.
The memories still haunt my dreams
Your face I can't forget
I'll never hear you laugh again:
Your laughter echoes in my head.
I try to watch a movie
To try to dull the ache,
But the actress brings you back to mind:
Watching was a sad mistake.
Ten years gone by since last I saw
Your gentle, smiling face
Ten years my pain has gone unchecked
By your charm and your grace.
I cannot run, I cannot hide
From the sorrow that I bear
It travels with me everywhere
I turn, and it is there.
Your memory colors everything
I see with my sad eyes
Your voice I hear upon the wind
Your tears fall from the stormy skies.
I know you'd want me to be happy,
To set my grief aside
But all the happiness I had
Forsook me when you died. . .
