All For You
It’s strange to come home now.
You are no longer at the door waiting for me.
It’s strange to cook dinner.
You no longer sing and sway around the kitchen.
It’s the silence of the house that’s the strangest.
All the moments I took for granted,
for you, they were everything.
You brightened up the day.
Everything you did brought a smile to my face.
I no longer smile as much.
Do you watch over me?
I no longer sing in the kitchen or dance in my room.
Tell me you’re watching over me.
You can see me from your spot in the sky,
all the hatred and anger is long gone.
The sun sets and rises.
Time passes by.
Heaven welcomes you and you are smiling again.
Is it nice?
A memory of you came to me last night. You
place your hand
on my shoulder but that was all I could remember.
Earth continues to spin without you and
with you I’d be happier but I know what
you would
tell
me.
“All my life I did everything I could for you.
The good and bad moments,
things you don’t even remember, everything was for
you.
Want and need for me
to be by your side, to
do the things we always do together,
you will learn to live without it, learn to live without me”
Say that you love me,
that you miss me.
You were gone before I could say goodbye.
Like a whisper of days gone by.
The good times and the
bad,
girls say they miss it all but all the
honey will never be as sweet as seeing you again.
Is it nice up there?
That place in the sky. I don’t know if it’s a
true place or not. If
it’s fiction and fantasy but Lydia believes it to be
better
than here.
I want to believe you’re somewhere better too,
ever happy and free
even if it’s just a dream. I
knew that one day this would happen.
They all said it to be true but I just want to hear you
say that you love me,
that you miss me
The time I spent with you seems forever ago, the
world continues to move on without you.
Was this all just a bad dream? The city you
built
for me continues to grow.
Two years into the future and already
only few traces of you remain. Was it
worth it?
Living in this world without you
if it means people are happier?
Somebody will make this city a better place but
is it worth it?
Loving this world but living in it without
you
