You Went Away

I lay here on my bed
Pain pounding in my head
My eyes filled with tears
My heart filled with fears

I miss you badly, this I know
But I can't ever let it show
I have to just be strong
Continue to move right along

I miss you deep in my heart
Have since we've been apart
All the memories in a flood
Rushing through my blood

I miss you horrible; your smile
I hope this won't last a while
I don't know how this can go on
Seems like it's been so long

Memories are all that's here
You've been gone for years
I still remember everyday
That I had, 'fore you went away
