A Minute Since Sunday

It's been a year since Sunday 
That you took your last breath 
I still don't know why you went away 
Only that getting cancer became your death 

On Wednesday it will be a year 
Since I last saw your beautiful face 
A moment I will always hold very dear 
An image that I can't replace 

This whole year through 
I've been full of so much pain 
My mind and heart ache for you 
Since that day, nothing's been the same 

Every month I've struggled to get by 
Without you, I feel empty 
I can't help but want to cry 
Every time I think of how things used to be 

I look for normalcy and the old me every day 
God knows I've really tried 
But it's like half of me went away 
The minute that you died.
