I lie alone at night, without you by my side,
I wonder if you know about all the tears I’ve cried?
A simple single tear slides gently off my cheek,
As my busy mind drifts swiftly off to sleep.
Memories of you and I dance happily through my mind,
I bolt awake and remember how I had to leave you behind.
I know you’re not beside me, to hold me when I cry,
No arms to put around me, and lift me to the sky,
No mouth to hold against mine and comfort me with a kiss,
No hand to grasp to guide me through the mist.
So I lie alone awake at night and cry myself to sleep,
For I have given you my heart and soul to protect and to keep.
It’s the simple fact that I cannot be with you
That makes my days and nights so difficult to get through.
I have no one to protect me and shield me from the lies,
No one to hold and kiss me, or wipe the tears from my eyes.
It’s the pain of not being with you that brings all these tears.
It’s only been three months, but for me it’s been three years.
I never stop thinking about you; you’re always on my mind.
I wonder how you’re doing; I worry all the time.
My life is spinning out of control; I don’t know what to do.
I hope it will get better as soon as I’m with you.
