Loved yet Lost

I feel a hole where my heart should be,
seeing only myself,
no-one is crying but me.

The one I lost was the one I loved,
the one who entrusted me with a precious gift,
the man who is now an angel flying above

He was the man I tore away from, the man i resisted,
but i couldnt lie to myself,
and so my heart insisted

He was so gentle,
so kind,
I wish I could turn back the hands of time

Day after day i feel my soul cry out to the one who can't be there,
the one I lost,
the one I now look upon with a tragic stare.

I reach out to touch his once-warm cheek,
only to find his body so utterly breathless,
so cold so bleek.

What can I do but hope he will return,
with each acheing breath,
i feel what's left of my heart burn.

The longing is just too painful to bare,
what i would give just to see him, feel him,
and know he is there.

I feel so alone,
not a shoulder to cry on,
other than my own.

I wish i had confessed what he will never know,
If only I had opened up,
if only I had let my true feelings show.

The day he said goodbye he sealed his fate with a kiss,
nothing else mattered,
that was a moment of pure bliss.

How can a single soul change you so completely?
I was reborn,
and I was touched deeply.

I know he is gone in body,
and will soon be fluidless and rotten,
I hope his spirit knows that he will never be forgotten.....
