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.
