Holding On

A heart without its other half A hand empty with nothing to hold A smile without a reason to laugh A hidden pain that remains untold The days eat me As I search for that sign of you The tears make it impossible to see What is it I'm supposed to do? I recall the arms that once protected me The heart inside me that used to beat The golden eyes that allowed me to see The girl who once felt complete I close my eyes to catch a glimpse of you Grasping the memories with all my might I hear you whisper I love you too Yet I turn around to face another lonely night Tears stain your picture everyday As I remember all you mean to me I know you're not truly away For in my heart you will always be Yet once again I lay here tonight Lost not knowing what to do Regretting waking to morning light For in my dreams I smile holding on to you
