Gone

Someone called the other day,
They were asking for you.
I said you weren't here and put down the phone,
They hadn't got a clue.

It's hard receiving your letters and mail,
I open them with grief.
I put them away with all the rest,
Whilst staring in disbelief.

I carry on with life as normal,
I cannot bring you back.
I stare at the empty side of the bed,
And remember the times we had.

The house seems so cold,
It's hard, being alone.
But I have to keep living my life,
So the dreams become mine to own.

My friends ask me out at night,
I'd rather stay home where it's warm.
I try to have fun, to erase my mind,
I can't help that my heart is torn.

Sometimes I talk to you in my head,
As if you never went away.
Maybe I'll see you again sometime,
If we're reunited one day.

You'd want me to be happy, I know,
For me, that's an impossible lie.
You'll be there one day, I'm sure you will,
For now, all I can say is goodbye.
