Without You

Its been a while..I'm beginning to forget...
Meanwhile you are out

Doing life without

Me, I wonder if things will ever be as they were
When your presence simply felt like home
I still saw light in your eyes

Oh! How they used to shine!

Not that they've dimmed...
How would I know?
That would imply having seen your face

But like I said: Its been a while
Since Ive seen you smile
Since I made you laugh

Your voiced cracked just a bit.

Is that a snort?

That's right about when you'd start blushing

Avoiding all eye contact...

While moments, memories escape me

Days pass by

Life goes on

And yet...

There's always something there

To remind me

Of when your presence simply felt like home

Even in the midst of a storm

You always knew

It would only take a squirrel to remind me

That the sky is still blue

The sun is still shining

And by God, it will shine again tomorrow

Bread crumbs, clues

Every time I Press Play, Shuffle or hit repeat.

Reminding me of you, and how the Father makes all things new

So, though I'm beginning to forget

I don't

I can't

It's in the chords;

i hear thEm as they resound

Choruses makinG even the angels sing

from Deep down within

They join me in praising our King

Its in the wind

Bringing hope to a heart contrite

Reminding me..

Home.

Is not of you, but in you

By the grace of the One who formed you

With such joy and delight

Seeing it fit to bless me with your life

His light shining trough

So as much as I miss you

And truly I do.

You can come

Or you can go

Text call

Or make like a ghost

But HE remains

And as much as it pains me, I know that its true

One day

After many days have gone

I may not remember at all

The walls will read a different song

Chords sounding something new

While alluding to references too obscure

Obscure for my view

As time goes on

And life goes on

And I press on

Without

You
