It's been twenty -six years
Since the day we first met,
Our first date together
A time I'll never forget.

So many special moments
Locked away in my mind,
A treasure chest of memories
That fate built by design.

You're the first and only
Woman who's ever loved me,
I'm thankful for our time
Still I'm left feeling lonely.

My life has been empty
Since the day that you passed,
Each day a new struggle
Separating future from the past.

The pain is still very real
Even after all these years,
The wound has yet to heal
My heart still filled with tears.

I long to hear you laugh
And hold your hand once more,
To know you're always beside me
Together for evermore.

I want to say I love you
And long to be with you again,
To see you smile once more
Share a life that'll never end.
