My eyes are stinging
With a complete missing
Not partial; a feeling unspoken
Something cracked and broken

Your presence is felt
Especially when it’s not here
Memories make me melt
When it wasn’t me it was we’re

I’m strong, I’m going on
Life is to be lived, memories to be drawn
But the missing is not to be denied
Life’s not the same without you by my side

Holidays make it hard
I’m holding my head high
My heart’s not unscarred
Sometimes I have to cry

In the silence or in the noise
Your memory brings me joy
So with that knowing
It fuels me to keep going

Despite the good things you brought to my life
I’m selfish and I want you back
This conflict inside causes me strife
Making my strength go slack

The saying is true no one can be replaced
Time is faster despite the chase
Though you made such a difference there’s no denying
If I said I’m OK, I’d really be lying

For when you’re not here
You are incredibly missed
Without you and me there is no we’re
