The Moment that you left me,
My heart split in two. One side filled with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday; but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. You see life has gone on without you, but it will never be the same.
She Is Not Gone
Ease your grief, she is not gone,
For in your heart, she lingers on.
Her smile, her laugh, her special way,
Will comfort you, from day to day.
You'll feel her presence in the breeze,
That dances gently, through the trees.
And it's her face that you shall see,
When you're in need of company.
At any time, you can recall,
The love you shared...you saved it all.
And in time, more than anything,
You'll find peace in remembering.
