You Are Not Here

You are not here when I try to fall asleep at night Alone in the bed where we held each other tight You are not here when I wake up to a new day Missing your laugh, your smile your special way You are not here when I walk through our house Where silence greets me quiet as a mouse You are not here when I need someone to hold To comfort my heart as moments grow cold You are not here to share your kind gentle love When I need it most I will gaze up above
