NOW YOU'RE GONE

You held my hand when I needed something,
anything to hold on to for comfort.
You looked in my eyes, but you saw my heart,
a heart that has been torn apart.
And I still need you, but now you're gone.
You were always there to cheer me up,
up when I was feeling down.
You made me laugh until I cried.
Now I cry because I know you've died.
And I still need you, but now you're gone.

My love reaches heaven's doors
and my heart pounds to let me in
to see the one I loved and lost too soon.
I know you're in a better place
but I still yearn to touch your face
to have you near, and feel your embrace.

I could never describe all you've meant to me,
your warmth, your love, and your beauty.
The little things you'd say and do
were never little because of you.
And I still need you, but now you're gone.
The journey that we made together
taught me much about hope and forever.
The courage you had in the face of death
made me glad and thankful we had met.
And I still need you, but now you're gone.
