Goodnight

I thought you were lying beside me
I was so warm in your embrace , side
By side not a care in the world just you 
And me, king size bed, guy and girl

But when I awoke your side of the bed
Was unwrinkled, cold, barren, shapeless
And reality brought me back no you!
Day in day out! What am I to do?

Finding Love is so hard today. 
Dysfunctionality is the normal measure
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
Thing is you don't know about tomorrow

Time passes idly by I hear your steps
I catch a glimpse of your white coat
We had a beautiful life together
The island trips, cruises on the boat

The birds still call your name 
We all loved you more than you know
Our life together was cut short
Cancers' the one who made you go

Snow will be coming here soon
Although you will never be cold again
Don't worry I still have your ashes
My promise to return them to England

Goodnight my love I miss you so
I am writing this to you before bed
It helps me sleep to write to you
And tell you the thoughts in my head 

I cherish the home we have and
The time we had together my love
Goodnight my love with all my heart
May God keep you safe above.
