A Space Left on My Bed

Whispered echoes of what used to be,

Fading shadows, you and me.

We really were the perfect two, in our imperfect way,

Tried so hard I smothered you, pushed you further away.

Now you slip loose from my hands, left my touch cold and bare,

Hold them tight just one last time, tell me you still care.

Time might blur the edges, but the heart remembers well,

A love so true, it's like a story only time could tell.

It would take a hundred years, to find love like ours again,

Remember this, the good outweighs the pain,

Even as you move on, my hope remains the same,

That in another life, you’ll still call my name.

Can't ignore the truth I face, you may find another man,

But I hope he holds in his heart, the love I tried to hand.

There’s a special place inside my heart, yours remains to keep,

Meet me in my dreams tonight, when you fall asleep.

Memories of us, they shine through the dark,

Etched inside my soul, leave their mark.

It would take a hundred years, to find love like ours again,

Remember this, the good outweighs the pain,

Even as you move on, my hope remains the same,

That in another life, you’ll still call my name.

There’s a space on my bed, where I wish you'd still lay,

Thoughts of you keep me awake, at the end of every day.

A love so deep, it never fades,

In dreams, I find you, in the shadows’ glades.

Whispered echoes, love’s refrain,

Waiting here, through the rain.

Till the day we meet again,

In dreams, my love, my only friend.
