Each time i wake, your name appears,
a whisper soft between my tears.
I search the dawn, I plead, I see,
a world that starts and ends with thee.
Your smile, my light when nights were long,
your laugh, the echo of my song.
Your gaze, a spark that pulled me through,
a hope reborn because of you.
Your scent still lingers in the air,
a ghost of warmth that's always there.
Your blush once painted all my skies,
your voice, my prayer that never dies.
You fixed the cracks i used to hide,
the storms that tore me up inside.
You gave my restless soul a home,
a place where love could softly roam.
And though the world may turn and fade,
the memory of us won't trade.
For in my heart you carved your stay,
no time nor distance takes away.
You are the calm my heart once missed,
the dream my trembling hands still kissed.
You are the wish i whispered low,
the love i'm scared to let go.
You taught me faith through gentle pain,
that loss and love can both remain.
And if i never hold you near,
I'll still be grateful you were here.
For some are meant to pass, not stay,
to bless, then slowly drift away.
But even so, I'll thank the skies,
for giving me your fleeting eyes.
You were the prayer i didn't expect,
the answered wish i can't forget.
And though we walk on roads apart,
you'll always live within my heart.
