The Best Part of Me

I drag myself up - out of bed With thoughts of her - running through my head Wondering if she’s trying to forget about me As she stands there - getting ready to go Staring in the mirror - do her memories flow Remembering all the days we played together in the sun I think of her- on the other side of town The way we enjoyed - just hanging around Being together somehow made our worlds complete I laugh out loud -when I think how good She made me feel - the way she could…. help me forget about the crappy things in my life Something about her - brought out my best To Look at the good - and forget the rest With her smile and laughter she showed me the face of god But now I’m left - standing here alone And with every ring - of my telephone My heart leaps though my throat hoping that it’s her Well here I am - as I head out the door Going through - the motions once more Pretending on the outside I’m still the man I use to be But deep inside - I know the truth I try to fool myself - but it’s no use Because I know she took the best part of me with her when she left
