Now there is silence where once laughter rang out
And where once was certainty there now seems a cloud of doubt
That unanswerable question of where do you go from here
When you’ve lost the one you held so precious and dear.
One step at a time is all you can honestly take
As you try some sense from this heartache to make
For no further than the next moment is it best to look
As your reason for living from you has been took.
Do not ask questions that there are no answers to
But hold dearly onto all that she meant to you
Let your memories bring you both laughter and tears
As you remember the treasure that was yours over the years.
It might feel like the light has gone out and darkness is all you now know
But deep deep down within your soul there is an ember’s glow
For her love is still with you and although at this moment it makes you deeply sad
It will give you the strength to go on and for having loved her will make you forever glad.
Your heart is the place where she continues to live on
She is forever there and will never be gone
Although her hand is no longer there for you within yours to hold
Her strength within you will make you go on and be ever bold.
Her laughter and humour will still be there to take your breath away
To catch you unawares and bring a glimmer of brightness to your day
For as long as she is in your heart she has not gone away
But turned a corner onto a path that is not yours to follow today.
Do not turn away the love of family and friends who now stand near
Who are also in anguish over the loss of someone they hold dear
Take comfort in all that she meant to them as well as to you
And softly hear her whisper with them ‘I’ll always love you.’
