Christmas Mourning
Twenty seventh of December the year 2008
A date I will always remember
A day I will always hate
It was the day you died my love and part of me died too
Although ten years have passed
a question I will often ask
Why did you have to go
for we loved each other so
It is so very lonely here
though friends and family
look out for me, call me each day
But it’s you I want, but I cannot say
Another Christmas fast approaching
vivid memories never fade
Those last few weeks, so painful
wishing memories would erase
I always mark the day you went
by going to the sea
I send my love inside a card
a kiss, I watch it float away
For both of us had always said
to the sea we would go when we were dead
So when my time arrives, that is where I want to be
but until then my darling, I walk daily by the sea
On this the tenth anniversary I want to say to you
I am surviving every day, for what else can I do
but finally the sun came out after all those years of rain
And even though I miss you so, I can laugh and sing again
