Sitting here remembering,
The smile upon your face
And how it made the world
light up
You were full of heavenly
grace.
No longer can I see your face
For you are with God above
But your loving smile will
always be
Tucked in my heart with love.
I know you wouldn’t want to
see
Me crying the way I do,
But losing you was a part of
me
And days, I can’t make it
through.

Do you hear me crying?
It’s because some days I’m
down
I look around for you,
But you’re nowhere to be
found.
Only pictures now remain of
you;
Special songs that meant so
much
So if you hear me crying,
It’s because I can’t feel
your touch.
Sometimes I think I see you,
On a crowded street or mall.
I then run up and call your
name,
But it wasn’t you at all.

My heart still aches in
sadness
And tears, oh how they flow!
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
So, if you hear me crying,
It’s something I can’t
control
Just understand my darling,
When I’m again with you, I’ll
be whole.
