After You - Who

After you are gone - who will walk with me? After you are gone - who will ride with me? After you are gone who will talk to me and listen to my problems? After you - who will hold my hand the way that you do? Who will tell me - I love you the way that you do? After you are gone - who can take your place? I don't think anyone can fill in your shoes and do all the things that you do. After you are gone my whole life will change. It will not be the same. I will wake up and see a new day. The sun will shine, or it might rain, but it will not be the same. It will be cold, or it will be hot, but it will be different because you have gone. After you - no one can take your place , because in my heart and my thoughts, you will always remain...

Humm, Lucilla who? Many at times that gap lingers for a while and some other time forever. Because it's not always easy to find another who rightly fits in.
