the pain of losing someone

how do you begin to understand the loss of something you held so close?

life didn’t tell us it would be this hard

there were no warnings in our instruction book

so, how do i prepare for the pain of losing someone?

i held your memories so close to me for many years

now you’re among many other graves in life’s archives

distanced relatives came this far to remember your legacy

but still this isn’t enough to heal the pain of losing someone

i thank you for all your lessons you taught us

take this song as a promise, we’re stronger because of you

to think that this would be the end

all these tears still can’t stop the pain of losing someone

i will miss you, but until my final breath

i know we’ll meet again in heaven

now that i finally have all the key components

this is how i handle the pain of losing someone.
