As time goes by
I miss you more
The days get so lonely
The nights just drag on
The days turn into weeks
The weeks into months
I try to smile
But to no avail
I'm missing you too much
Friends say I should move on
I ask them, how do I do that?
Then I ask, have you ever been in love?
They look at me
They never say a word
Their silence says it all

So I ask,
How can you give advise
About something you know nothing about

I'm still hoping and praying
That one day I'll wake up
To find
It's been just a bad dream

So now as I get ready to leave
To head back to my home
I tidy up a bit
Sweep away the leaves
Trim the grass
Then I dust off her head stone
I lay my hand there for a minute
I whisper a few words
I know, only she can hear
I walk away like I always do
Tears falling, heart breaking and wondering
When does the pain go away
