I don’t know why God took you,

but I trust that He knew why,

because you were everything to me:

the wind and rain and sky.

You were the one I always turned to,

the one whose hand I held so tight.

You were the stars that shone so brightly

even on the darkest night.

Now I’m living here without you

and I do not have a guide.

It’s everything that I can do

not to fall apart inside.

I hope you know how much you mean to me

and that I keep you in my heart,

that I still love you dearly,

although we may be far apart.

I have faith one day I’ll meet you,

that you’ll take me by the hand,

and I’ll once again be with you,

in some far-off, distant land.

But for now I’m longing for you

and I hope that you agree,

because I have not been like myself

since the day that you left me.
