• Only When I Lost You

    Your gentle eyes,
    Still linger in my mind.
    I stare at the dark world,
    Where you I cannot find.

    My heart longs to see you run,
    Soul cries to hear your sound,
    But you’re not breathing,
    And to grief I’m bound.

    I try to hide my sadness,
    Behind a smiling mask of lies,
    Until my lip trembles,
    And I begin to realize,

    That you’re not coming back.
    Now I know what has to be.
    You’ve left my hope broken,
    By your sudden absence from me.

    In dark, lonely days,
    Only you would give me relief,
    But now since you’ve left me,
    I struggle with belief.

    God, I only want to know,
    When it happened, were You there?
    I want to believe so much,
    But this does not seem fair.

    I want to hug you one last time,
    I love you, I want to say,
    That you’ll always be mine,
    And I’ll think of you each day.

    Only when I lost you,
    Did I finally think you might,
    Be more than a friend, but a part of me.
    I died with you that night.
