I wake each dawn from restless sleep
Your name a prayer upon my lips
Whispered to the ghost that haunts me
Somehow I stumble though the endless days
Wishing you were here
To fill the void inside me
I close my eyes at night and see your face
Tears pooled in your eyes
Smile curving your cheeks
And yet again your words ring in my brain
I love you
And goodbye
I never got to give you my reply
My throat closed tight
My broken heart stood still
And in that moment you were both lost and mine
Never to know
I love you too
You are my greatest happiness
My reason for being
My life, my world
The one I want but thought I could never have
And this I accepted
As the way things had to be
I embrace death as I would embrace you
With tears of joy
With boundless love
With a heart that beats faster
Every time
I see your face
Words never were the way you spoke your truths
Your soul revealed
What you could not say
And in that moment you were both lost and mine
Never to know
I heard your reply
