I am laying awake pondering the agony of it all
I am hurting inside my heart, sweetheart

I long for the times we used to sit and talk
I still remember your touch, it would cause me to shiver
I loved you and I still love you 

I am feeling so lost inside now that you are gone
I came across the songs you wrote inside a box

I am holding them close to my heart
I gaze up at the night sky and play your guitar
I play and sing the songs that you wrote, it helps

Some of the songs are tender and some make me cry
On many nights I play until it gets cold
There is a part of me that hopes you can still hear me

How can there be a life without you by my side?

I am not afraid of death because I have already died
This is worse than death because in death, the pain of life ends

Edward J Ebbs - 3/30/2025
