A loss never forgotten

My hearts reaching out for you I want you here,
I want to hear your laugh, close to me so near.
My heart breaks each time I think of your face,
In my heart and soul, you'll never be replaced.
I miss you like crazy I want you to be back home,
Everyone's falling apart, and I'm feeling alone.
I just want to see your face, just one last time,
Every single memory will forever exist in my mind.
I hope you're looking down on me and everyone,
I hope it’s your light that’s shining from the sun.
Guide me through each day; you're on my mind,
A person identical to you, I will never ever find.
Why aren't you here? I just don't understand,
My heart keeps crying, tears falling on my hand.
I miss you like crazy its like a part of me is gone,
My heart is breaking and my mind is not on.
You'll always have a special spot in my heart.
I'll always love you like I did at the very start.
