Close the curtains to dull the Sun,
Drown all the noise until there’s none.
Unplug the phone and lock the door,
This world you can't face anymore.

Turn off the lights, light a candle,
Calm yourself; let thoughts assemble.
Though happiness has been captured,
There's someone to be remembered.

You were my laughter and my sorrow,
Taken from me, I'm left so hollow.
The days we had were just pure and true,
So filled with a love I always knew.

Time together was perfect but short,
Half of a whole; I’m so out of sort.
You were my drive and ultimate goal,
I've nothing left, just this looming hole.

I’ve always known it would come to this,
And you’d be the one I’d sorely miss.
Though now you’re not standing by my side,
I still have the days you were my bride.

Go now my dear and rest, for all of time,
Live in my dreams as the angel divine.
In the grace of heaven you now explore,
I’ll love you now, and forever more.
