I do not know what to say
the world is dull by your absence.
Our most favourite place
now sits quiet, drained of life, without you.

My smiles have become a jester's mask
bright on the surface, but nothing inside.
Though the sun shines everyday
my world stays empty without you by my side.

Mistakes were made
It hurt us both.
Yet through it all, one thing is certain
I only learned to love you more.

My heart keeps calling your name.
Fill my empty life with your perfect love.
Let us begin anew
And I will fill your empty heart with my love.
