I
would have given you the world if you asked me to,
I
would have stopped time for you if you needed me to,
Planted
you a garden full of roses if that's all it took.
Your
smile is all I had left, it’s all I lived for everyday
But
you took it all away when you suddenly left
What
is life if I cannot catch your smile,
If
the sun sets and I am still rooted to the same spot you left me, wishing and
hoping for your return
What
is the point of watching a beautiful sunset if I cannot turn around and see the
awe on your face and stars dancing in your eyes.
I
pick a pen and start writing you a letter but the moment I note your name down
my eyes fill with tears, I just break down
I
never knew there was power in just a name. Our friends ask about you and when
they say your name out aloud I crack inside
I
am on the tenth piece of paper, I have torn the last nine and still words fail
me.
My
heart is heavy, I have so much to say but my mind and my hand don’t seem to be
in tune.
The
portrait of us hanging in the sitting room was a source of intense pride and
joy. Now it haunts me but I cannot bring myself to pull it down.
Love
never comes with a manual. But even if it did am sure it never would say how
much it hurts sometimes.
How
do you put a pause on loving someone and hope that pause also takes away the
feelings.
