I Miss You

I miss you The night's never ending, just goes on and on Endless tears and suffering when will it be gone? There's none been as beautiful these eyes have beheld How could I ever imagine, our tall dreams could be felled How can anyone understand these feelings I've felt? Chorus Now I miss you.....oh I miss you, oh how I miss you! Why oh why did you have to go? Why did you have to go...away? The people around me, they look at me and they laugh He's wasting his life away living it in the past What can I tell them... to make them understand? My life ended long ago it's not what I had planned They're all so happy, living as husband and wife Leave me alone, wont you? Let me live my dead life Chorus Oh I miss you....yes I miss you...Oh how I miss you Why did you have to go? Why did you have to go...away repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton August 31,2016

"moving on" is not always easy when the past was better than the present and the future is so unpredictable. A very sad song, John. I enjoyed the read. You ever think about putting some of these to music?

Yeah most of my lyrics have melodies, just trying to find someone to record them, I have a country singer here in Niagara area wants to record one of my songs, just trying to record the piano first then he can lay down his track, I have a few in the Toronto area interested, one in Mexico, so lets hope something happens soon! Thanks for the positive feedback!

This brought a lump to my throat John - my friend lost her hubby - people tell her after 4 years she should move on but she says he was the love of her life and she will never ever change her mind:-( hugs jan xx 7

That's what devotion is all about, stick to the person no matter what happens. It is so sad when a mate dies. By the way just lost another friend to cancer, she was only 48. It's just too much lately, just terrible. Thanks for the visit and the link to my poem, I am getting more reads and comments, thanks again.
