My Darling Wife...

My Darling Wife...

I've cried for 6 straight nights and I'm not running dry
I took the dog for a walk, looked at the church and still I cried
Slumped on the bench, this aching feeling felt harsh but yet right
Looking at my own breath, staring at the moon like ice

I'm so cold...
I'm so cold...

I'm so cold, but listening to the voices around knowing life goes on
I'm so alone, looking at the chipped wood where you once sat upon
I'm still with you, rightly so, my home is where my heart is and I still live for you
I lay these flowers for you, just because I know that these, well... you loved

My best friend, my darling wife, you were snatched way before your time
I read your diaries what you left for me, and all I think of is every single line
By night, my tears soak the pages but by day for our daughters we just smile
On blades of grass you rest, but the aroma of your soul will linger like your fine wine

To you sweetheart...
To you sweetheart...

I will carry your love within me and remind people of your golden soul
I will dream for you when the lights are starting to fade
I know you're looking down wanting to hold my hand but please just wait
The girls have just started out, one day we'll both look down from the same place

With contentment on our face
And happiness on their face
With love they have been raised
In our perfect little way

In our perfect way...
So until I see you again
To you sweetheart...

Dear Wayne, this piece is so filled with raw,undiluted love,longing and sadness that it just brings tears to my heart...Losing someone so loved is tragic, recovering from that is almost impossible but the memories and family you have will all help to ease the heartache my friend.A beautiful tribute indeed! xx
