Gone

Yesterday has slipped away And only now I see Just how sad the answers To those questions asked can be A hollow feeling in my heart A pain inside so real An empty space inside of me That only you can fill Even though you're gone from me Still I’m holding on To something that can never be To something so far gone People say that I'll forget That time will dry my tears People say this pain inside Will fade throughout the years But everything we did And every word that we did share And every place we've been Have left their shadows everywhere Apart from you and I Nobody else could ever know Or ever understand The part of me that can't let go You were my love, my heart, my soul You gave my life to me And now I feel so lonely Saying 'I' instead of 'We In a world of strangers Here alone I stand My promise of tomorrow Gently slipped right through my hand I close my eyes and feel you near In dreams you're by my side In every prayer I pray for you In every tear I cry Not only did I lose my love I lost my best friend too I lost my world, my heart, my soul The day that I lost you Although the road gets lonelier And longer everyday My memories of loving you Will never fade away...
