2018

For all the chilly mornings

That make me miss our nights

For all the lonely roads

That drained all my might

For all the hours spent

Watching boredom swirl

Wishing you were here

To raise our little girl

For all the quiet days

Listening to the falling rain

I tried to push away your memory

Without driving myself insane

I'll remember our nights together

They'll stay a special memory

I used to look forward to tomorrow

Knowing you'd wake up next to me

I still live off of the things she said,

The way she smiled

And her eyes would lighten

My memories of her are

The only things making sure

That none of the pieces get lost

Even today, after two whole years

I can still feel her presence

And I know she's here

In this room she whispers softly

Somehow she's always with me

Sometimes I like to pretend

That you just went away

And that you'll come back,

Come back to me one day

And in those daydreams I tell you:

"I miss you more than words can say

But hearing you talk about your journey

Always brightens up my day

So don't forget my souvenir

When you get back home to stay

I would do with just a letter

Or even a picture of you

In that grey cashmere sweater"

After some time

Perhaps a little too long

I simply stopped waiting

For your call, your voice

Your message, your breath

But as if you never left,

Whatever was yours I kept it all

Your clothes are still where you left them

And your picture is on the wall

We've made each other happier

Than we could ever strive

But all so futile, because our love

Couldn't keep you alive
