Dying Without You

Why is it that I sit and cry
as I watch the days go by
just wasting empty time
thinking up useless rhymes
desparately waiting to see
if you'll ever return to me

I stay up far into the night
starring at the empty ceiling
and watching shadows on the floor
Dancing the clock away til morning

I try to get some sleep
and try to clear my head
attempting to count sheep
inside the covers of my bed

But whatever distractions I do
my thoughts return to you
and your face always seems
to drift through my dreams

I just long to be inside your arms
melted away by all your charms
I can't help but dearly miss
the gentleness of your sweet kiss

Baby it's hurting me so bad
to recall the love and joy we once had
only later realizing how
memories are the past, not the now

I just want you to know
I never stopped loving you so
and if I could re-due it all over again
I wouldn't dream of letting you go
