Nothing will ever diminish
The light that you gave me
When you were alive
The laughter we shared
The tears of uncontrolled joy
The endless stares and loving looks
Full of compassion and affection
Nothing can replace the special intimacy
That we shared only with each other
You were my true soul mate
These days without you, I'm forced to move on
I can't live my life in the dark
Always wondering what could have been
I already know what was
And what we had the potential to be
But you left me
The most horrible tragedy
The pain has attempted to subside
Over all this time
But I've never truly been able
To rid myself of the remembrance of you
Your ghost remains
Following me like a shadow
I invite it to come along
My only wish is that it was your flesh, your body
And I could hold you all night long
We never got to say goodbye
Wrote this as I listened to the song "Your Ghost" by Greg Laswell on repeat.
