I try to sleep each night
Get in bed and close my eyes
But still I see visions of you
Still I feel the memory of you
Still I feel your presence
Your warmth - the lingering smell of you
It's almost as if you're still here...
I can still hear the sound of your voice
As you whisper tenderly that you love me
I can almost feel you softly caress my chest
And I remember feeling love and adoration
As I beheld you in the candle light
Drinking in your goddess-like silhouette
I know that I will dream of you tonight
Like you have asked me to
And I have done
So many nights before
But now instead of happiness joy and love
These dreams bring bitter sweet sadness
Poignant loneliness
Wistful despair...
Thoughts of what we had plague me
I long for you
I need you
I miss you
I love you
But you are gone
And in a way
So am I
