I open my eyes to another new day
And remember all over again
That you are not here
My heart longs for you.
******
I go through the motions
Of living a life
Kids, work and bills
My mind stays on you.
******
I lay awake at night
Remembering your smile, your scent
Your presence
My hands want to hold you.
******
I am every woman
Strong enough on my own
But with you I feel invincible
My soul needs you.
