Missing You
Missing You
For Bella
Why did you have to leave me?
I still don’t understand.
Your parting was so sudden
No time to make a plan.
Your youth was just behind you.
Your spirit left down here
A young and unmarred body
And me with all my tears.
Why did you go and leave me?
So sad and so alone
Your parting left me wond’ring
What more I could have done.
When you left I grieved for you;
A secret grief, and deep.
I laughed and joked through each long day—
Then cried myself to sleep.
Why you’re gone, I still don’t know.
My heart grants you release.
All I wish for you, my love
Is that you rest in peace.
