From Now On

From now on...life is just living...barely that is
  What I wouldn't give to have her back
        Too hold her...too talk to her...too see her smile
  She was all that was within me, now I can't breathe
        It hurts so much...but doesn't hurt enough
  But I'll keep the pain for it derives from her
        I still smell her hair...within the air...everywhere
  She consumed my entire being, willingly
        Now it's empty...now so lifeless...now she's gone
  Gone and unaware that she took me with her
        All my love...all my hope...all my dreams
  She carried away all the best parts of me
        Left with suffering...left with nothing...left alone
  Every single remaining day I will wish for you
        To be here again...by my side again...alive again
  Even if I know that the act is futile
        I will never give up...I will always suffer
  Because the suffering is all that I have left
        My love...My life...My wife...
  I will never say goodbye
        I love you...
