Now You are Gone

You did not just give me tears
You taught me how to shed them

But now you are gone I cannot stop my tears from falling

Tears that once gave comfort now leave me empty

You did not just give me dreams
You taught me how to act upon them

But now you are gone I cannot stop my dreams from shattering

Dreams that once gave hope now leave me lost

You did not just give me wings
You taught me how to fly with them

But now you are gone I cannot stop my wings from fading

Wings that once gave assurance now leave me insecure

You were not just my life
You were my reason for living

But you also taught me how to find the light in those moments where I lost my path

So even though you are gone I know you are standing beside me
Guiding me every step of the way
