You never said you were leaving,

You never said goodbye...

You were gone before I knew it,
And only god knew why.
Tears on my pillow,
I can't count how many times I've cried...
I feel so awfully hollow,
Almost like it's me that died.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried...
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
How long will I feel so empty?
Will this heartache ever end?
How long will I have to wait?
Until we meet in heaven, my friend?
There's so much left unspoken,
Too soon for our conversation to end...
I thought we would have so many years,
And so much time to spend.
If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane...
I would walk the path to heaven,
And bring you home again.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still...
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone...
For part of me went with you,
The day that god took you home.
