Missing You Always

You never said I'm leaving

You never said Goodbye,

You were gone before we knew

And only God knows why.

In life I loved you dearly,

In death I love you still,

In my heart I hold a place

That only you can fill.

It broke my heart to lose you 

But you didn't go alone

A part of me went with you,

The day God took you home.
