The air was ****** from my lungs.
I cried and cried and couldn't let-up.
These tears were different--
They brought no release.

A pain so profound
I felt it in my chest, in my head.
My body weakened,
I couldn't move from my bed.
I wanted desperately to go back to sleep
And for all of this to be another awful dream.

Years ago I cried for you,
Today I cry for me.
For I know you're in a better place,
But I'm stuck here
And in my heart a you-shaped hole remains.

I wish the world was blessed enough to know you.
I miss you every day.
I'll never stop missing you, loving you...
So I cry today.
