And the days seem to get longer

As the nights stay the same

I wish I could see your face

I wish I could hear your name

Without shedding a tear

It’s been so long

Since I’ve seen you dear

But you’re gone

Forever

I won’t again see you, never

I cry at that thought

I’ll never forget all the things I’ve been taught

All the lessons I’ve learned

All those memories, in my mind, they are burned

Forever they will stay

Whenever I lose my way

I think of what you would say

It makes me believe again

That I’ll be ok

The pain has stayed for too long though

I need help soon, I know

I’ve become too destructive

I need some advice, something constructive

I need you here to tell me what to do

I’m so very lost without you

No one knows the pain I carry with me

A pretty smile, and happy face is all they see

They all believe I’m fine

As I drown my sorrows in a bottle of wine

I feel as though my mind has gone black

And all I need is you back

It’s not fair that you were taken away

You were so strong till the very last day

I wish I could be like you

Some say I am but I know it’s only half true

I’m weak, too weak to be strong enough to not feel like this

I should be happy, thankful for my opportunities

But all I think of are painful things, too hard to dismiss

I’m stuck on the memories

"Welcome to the group.  I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too.  Reading through your story really touched a chord with me.  Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"
