************************************************
The moment that you died, my heart was torn in two.
One side filled with heartaches, the other died with you!
I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep
and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy, I do it every day.
but missing you is a heartache that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain,
Until that joyful day arrives that we will meet again!
