Needing only you

Sitting on my bed
listening to the rain
I'm silently watching
each and every rain drop fall
and as i sit here
I'm reminded of it all
of the way we were back then
remembering all the good times
that we used to share
and as i start to cry
i pack your things away
trying as hard as i try
to look the other way
for the photographs
which bring back loving moments
i long for to stay
i do not wish to see
for i want
ever so badly
those good times to keep
i wish and hope and pray
that this pain would go away
wanting all of this
to not only be my yesterday
for i need you in my tomorrow too
and I'm trying not to live a lie
trying not to pretend your still alive
but thats hard for me to do
for i miss the safety
and warmth of your hugs
your sweet and tender words
the little pushes and tender tugs
your inspiration and preservation
are what got me through the day
and sadly I'm starting to realize
now all that has gone away
I'm trying so hard to live for tomorrow
but its so exhausting
when I'm needing only you today
