Missing You Always
You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
In Life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still,
In my heart I hold a place that only you can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.
A part of me went with you, the day God took you home.
