Lost in loss,
Feeling alone,
Finding a way to fight the pain.
I’ve prayed so many times today
That I’m afraid God might be tired of listening to me.
I instead I imagine your smile
It soothes me.
And I imagine the last words I saw your lips say
“I love you.”
Then I cry again and wonder
Will I ever hear you say it again?
And I pray some more.
I pray for this hurt to end.

But the tears they show me things.
How much I love you.
How much I care.
I’d rather die than hurt you.
You mean everything to me.

The other night I laid in bed
Staring out your window at the moon.
I was warm, wrapped in your embrace.
I slept soundly with the heat
Of your body next to me.
I dreamed your eyes were a river
And as I stared into them I began to sink.
My only thought was
“Oh, how I’d love to drown,
In the blue of his beautiful eyes.”

I cry because I miss you
Because I need the relief of your hand holding mine.
I cry because I need the safety
That I feel when I am with you.
I cry because I need to hear your voice
Telling me everything will be okay.
The tears, they let my pain go
They let my hurt and worry flow away.
They let my heart stay full
Of the amazing love you brought to me.
Even in the bad times
You are my soul mate.
