I Walk Alone

I walk alone
as I walk alone
holding out my hand
waiting for you to put your hand in mine
but to my dismay
to this very day
your hand isn’t holding mine

it’s been over a year
since I held you in my arms
and kissed your many charms
you were the best thing
that ever happened to me

what a fool I’ve been
through the years
I know I never told you so
that you were the best thing
that ever happened to me
and the love I always had for you
 my love will live on in eternity

I would give anything  
to have you walking beside me again
holding on to my empty hand
and seeing your loving smile smiling up at me

since the day you passed away
my heart is as empty as a dry well
I miss you more each and everyday 
I regret never telling you so
I know I’ll never be able to let you know
how much I love you 
and how empty my life is without you 

oh how I hate that damn disease that is cancer 
you were too young to pass away
only 52 years upon this earth
without you my life has little worth
until we meet again my love

God, please 
tell Laura I love her
tell Laura I need her
tell Laura I miss her
because I never told her so
