Still missing you
Nineteen years ago today,
you took your last breath.
My heart filled with sadness,
your face filled with peace.
I held your hand until it was cold,
your face white as a sheet.
Said my good-bye's with tears in my eyes,
one day again we'll meet.
Yesterdays seem so long ago
but yet they repeat.
And when I look in a mirror,
it's you I see in me.
Through the years like today,
I find myself still missing you.
you took your last breath.
My heart filled with sadness,
your face filled with peace.
I held your hand until it was cold,
your face white as a sheet.
Said my good-bye's with tears in my eyes,
one day again we'll meet.
Yesterdays seem so long ago
but yet they repeat.
And when I look in a mirror,
it's you I see in me.
Through the years like today,
I find myself still missing you.
