Learning To Say Goodbye

I wish I had another moment, I’d spend it all with you.
If I had that chance, I know just what I’d do…
I’d hold you in my arms so tight and never let you go,
I’d tell you in a thousand ways how much I love you so.
I’d take more time to show you how much you mean to me
I’d never miss a chance or an opportunity
To make sure you’d always know how very much I cared
About the many precious moments that we’ve always shared.
I wish, I wish so many things that I know just won’t come true,
I wish it didn’t hurt so much to have to live without you.
I don’t know what the future holds, I don’t see any end,
To this awful pain I’m feeling, of losing my best friend.
If you are listening from Heaven to all the things I say,
You must know it’s just the sadness of facing each new day
That makes me feel the way I do, I’ve yet to find the hope
I need to make my way through this, I’m still learning how to cope.
I had no say in any of what happened on that day
That God decided He would take you very far away.
Far away, and left me with, instead a broken heart,
Of having to accept the fact that now we had to part.
Without a word of warning or a chance to say goodbye,
Can you really blame me when I ask the question, “Why?”
I’m left with nothing more than the memory of what was
And the answer seems to be - “only just because…”
I’m sorry, that’s not good enough to quench the hurt within
And at this point, I’m still not sure when it will begin.
I’ve never walked this road before, the journey is hard, at best…
I’m so tired, I’m so weary and I desperately seek some rest.
I feel so lost without you, I don’t know what to do,
My life is now so empty, I can’t stop missing you.
I only want to be with you, if only that I could
If only I could have my way, you know I surely would.
I’m left with such a aching heart that doesn’t want to heal
And the feeling that what’s happened, still isn’t really real.
Each new day, it’s difficult, I can’t believe it’s true
That I’m facing my tomorrows, no longer having you.
The only thing I’ve left is to accept what’s done is done
My life, now without you, has unfortunately begun.
I don’t know how I’ll do it, but I have no other choice
I wish just one more time that I could hear your voice.
I wish that I could hear you say, “You know how much I love you?”
I’d wrap my arms around you and say “I love you too!”
