I awoke again this morning,
Like so many other days,
Reality there to greet me,
I surrender to its ways.
I know I should thank the Lord,
For the time that we had,
Instead I find I curse him,
For always feeling so sad.
Lord, you brought me to my knees,
Stripped my emotions to the bone,
You left me a broken man,
I feel empty, and so alone.
I miss you angel face,
You were my love, my best friend,
My heart forever aches,
For the day we’ll meet again.
You said I could do better,
Though I always doubted this,
Loneliness now shadows me,
Our life together gone amiss.
I miss the comfort of your voice,
The joy of holding your hand,
The smile that always reigned bright,
A spirit that’ll forever withstand.
Will we be together again?
The answer escapes me still,
Will we be strangers in heaven?
As so many say we will.
I love you with all my heart,
Don’t know if you felt the same,
Wish you would come appear to me,
My heart forever speaks your name.
I can’t let go of my pain,
Cause it means letting go of you,
I’m so tired of this hurting,
No end to the struggle in view.
Now I travel this lonely road,
Unaware of what is to come,
Feeling afraid and insecure,
The endless pain, my heart surcomes.
If only time could rewind,
How different would life be?
Living life like there’s no tomorrow,
Each sunset be our last to see,
Or would nothing have changed for us,
Travelin’ the same road as before,
Living life as if there’s still hope,
Till death forever closes the door.
I hope you’re soaring with the angels,
Living the life you’ve always deserved,
No longer feeling pain or sadness,
Eternal peace for your time served.
