Walking Without You
I loved when you were there by my side, and I could feel you next to me,
But it seems that time has gone.
“Until death do us part” seems to work in this situation,
You were dead before dawn.
Preparing for the morrow is one of the most painful things when I don’t see
you,
You were always waiting for me with a hug, kiss, and a smile,
But it seems those days have gone already, I don’t see your face there
anymore,
I’ll be walking on the face of the Earth alone for my while.
I still remember the first time I saw your face when I was brought in this
world,
You held me close and loved me and spoiled me.
When I was sad or afraid, you always embraced me with your warmth, taking
the fear away,
I’m just too lonely to stay here, don’t you see?
You loved me with all your heart, and I never wanted to see you leave so soon,
I loved you more than any petty word could describe.
Should I keep the memories, or move on and make a new life?
It’s just too hard and painful to decide.
I don’t want to forget you, but every time I remember the old days,
I burst into tears and cry my time away.
I wanted you to stay here with me until I knew it was enough,
I wanted you to be here for me, for a little longer, just come back and stay.
As long as you’re gone,
I’m walking on my own.
