Still By Your Side

If I could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true,

I'd pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back. I know because I've tried.

And neither will a million tears; I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broken heart and happy memories too.

But I never wanted memories...I only wanted you.

I am gone, not by your side, or so I've heard you say

but I am with you more than you know, each and every day

I am there each morning, as you rise to the morning you dread,

I am nestled up beside you each night when you go to bed

I watch while you are sleeping or lying there awake,

I'm with you when you ask 'How much more can I take?'

I watch with love each time I see you wipe the tears away

I will always be here for the one who thinks of me each day

I see you smile seldom, which is just a way to hide,

know the deep exhausting pain that you feel inside.

I watch you gather all my things to keep the memories alive,

I also know it's the only thing that helps you to survive.

I wish you knew that I was there and I know the pain you feel

I know you have a broken heart that time will never heal.

Just know that I am with you... We really aren't apart

I'm in every breath you take... Nestled in your heart
