It's YOU


When I see your picture, I’m reminded of what could have been

Hours go by, the tears running down my face as if they were running from the harsh reality

All day, you’re on my mind, from the moment I wake,

Till my last thought before I drift off to a deep, dreamless slumber:

 

I think of you

 

Can’t you see? I can’t live without you

Always remembered,

Never forgotten

The times spent reminiscing the past, not living in the now and dismissing the future

 

Living without you in the dark

If you’re not here by my side, then why should I be here too?

Vivid memories that will last forever

Everyone says that it will be ok, but I’m not so sure

 

What could have been, what should have been...

I’ll see you when the sun sets for the last time

The emptiness without you fills my heart to the very top; it threatens to overflow in a crashing wave

Hours go by, the tears running down my face as if they were running from the harsh reality

Our love was the pure kind, the kind we all dream of and hope that someday, we’ll find our better half

Unwilling to move on, you’re the one that binds me to this dreadful nirvana

The love I have for you is, and will always be, unconditional and evermore

 

See, the real thing I can’t live without,  is YOU.
