As I listen for your voice
I pretend I have a choice
To change the fact
That I watched you slip away
Disappearing more each day
And you’ll come back.

I reach for you in vain
I search for pieces that remain
Of me and you
Something old or something new
Almost anything would do
To ease the pain.

In my mind I know you’re gone
But in my heart you linger on
I can’t let go
Once my future, now my past
I am helpless but alas
I love you so.
