Constantly thinking, 
never to be the same, 
the tears fall quickly 
just hearing your name. 
Silence is golden 
yet not anymore 
silence brings thoughts 
I just can't ignore. 
The nights are sleepless, 
dreams out of reach. 
Crying in my pillow 
to you I beseech. 
Surrounded by family, 
I still feel alone. 
My heart is so empty, 
this pain I must own. 
I wish I could hug you 
and just see your face. 
But now I have memories 
to stand in your place. 
Gone but not forgotten, 
that's what they say. 
Of course that is true...
but if only you could of stayed.
