Still I Exist

Still I exist for another day
Another day without you
You left me with a smile
A hug, a kiss
And an “I’ll miss you.”
I wonder if you can miss me now
Because I miss you so much.

Still I wait for another day
Another day without you.
You promised me you’d come back
Why didn’t you?
That promise meant so much to me.
You didn’t want to leave that day
Yet you never returned home.

Still I love you for another day
Another day I will not get to be with you.
You left me with a smile
That I will always remember.
I miss you, and I wish you’d come back.
I know that you are gone…
But still, I exist for another day.
