I lie awake every night, with thoughts of your face forever in my sight.
My heart is heavy and full of sorrow, knowing that there will never be another tomorrow.
You were my partner, my lover and my best friend, I thought I would be with you till the end. Your passing so soon feels like my heart has been ripped out of me.
While I am filled with grief, I hope you have finally found your peace.
Till we meet again
