Without you



The loneliness I thought would                              
    Never go away
Went away when I met you that
     Very same day

The first time I looked into
     Your eyes
I knew you were the one I dreamt
     Of a million times

The first time you held me in
     Your arms
I knew you were the one I wished for
     When I looked up at the stars

Every wish that I wished
     For
Every dream that I dreamt came
     True when you kiss me over
       And over again

I knew at that moment there was
     Nothing I could do
My Heart body and soul belong
     To you

Every moment together was a
     Moment I wanted forever
Every moment apart was a moment
     I wanted never

Each each day I would wonder would
     Today be the day
The day you would leave and walk
     Away

When I made you my husband you
    Made me your wife
I thought it would be for the rest
     Of our life

If ever there was a promise that I
    Believed
It was that you would stay and
     Never leave

It wasn’t as easy for me as
    As For you
Walking away was something
     I could never do

No matter how many times you would
     Hurt me with who or when
I would be there to forgive you again
     And again

Even when you cheated even when
     You lied
I never walked away I stood
    By your side

I was your children’s mother
    Your wife
You were my husband my
     Life

None of that mattered when you  
    Left without a goodbye
Leaving a note and no reason
     Why

I’m sorry for the Times we would
     Argue and fight.                                  Forget the mean things that I said
     And remember my love
       Instead

How am I supposed to live
    And go on
When a piece of my heart is
     Missing it’s gone

The pain is eating me
     Oh way
Without you how will I
     Ever be OK

Each day I will think of you each
     Day I will cry
I will love you until the day
     I die

The loneliness That once went
     Away
Now is back and with out you
     It will stay

Goodbye to our promises goodbye
     To our love
Goodbye to us and what
     Once was
