I shed a tear for you the day
we said goodbye and parted.
I feel so empty and forlorn,
each day I'm brokenhearted.
I mourn for you, both day and night,
but you will never know.
For this secret, I keep well hid,
trying not to let it show.
I think of all the many times
we shared while once together,
But those times are over now,
the storms I now must weather.
How can I go from day to day
while missing you so much?
How can I mend this broken heart,
when I long to feel your touch?
I thought the answers I had found,
but if that's true, then why ~
do I feel so lost and blue,
and break down each day and cry?
Someday I hope to understand,
why life happened just this way.
For all I ever think about,
Is you, day after day.
God, help me mend this broken heart,
for I can't live this way.
I need those arms around me,
To take this pain away.
