When the sun rises
As a brand new day
And you're not there,
I wish for the sky to cloud
And for the dark to come again
So I can curl back up
A ball in the corner,
To ride out
The empty days,
When a happy thought
Makes it's way
Into my head
I feel guilty
And ashamed,
You're not there
To share it with me
And I wish to make it go away
Because I don't want to be glad
Without you,
When I turn any corner
And you're not there
I wish to walk backwards
And never turn the page
On this story
That seems to have ended
Long ago,
But somehow I know
There is yet more to be written...
