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...

Fisayo Aderounmu July 6, 2012 at 3:52 PM 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.
