Memories Of You

To steal a moment in time,
Now wouldn't that be grand.
To still have and to hold you,
But that wasn't a part of his plan.

In an instant we lost you,
Before we knew it you were gone.
With only a moments notice,
"Dear God, I didn't have him long."

Memories of you surround me,
Everywhere I turn, you're there.
Your smiling eyes still haunt me,
The pain of my loss I can't bear.

I never got to say good-bye,
Never even got one last kiss.
Your hair, your eyes, your voice, your touch,
Are some of the things I truly miss.

But what I miss most of all,
Is just having you here.
Every though and every memory,
Bringing more silent tears.
