'From Above'

There was just never enough of seeing your smile,
It made all my days and nights worthwhile
The way you laugh, and that almost sinister sneer;
how you'd easily get red with just a bottle of beer.

I remember the day that we actually first met
It was like it was planned by Fate... everything was set
It was a gift to keep me from being broken-hearted,
It was like a love story that happily ended as soon as it started.

Days went on and you told me you'd leave
I felt like a kid without a gift on Christmas Eve
I was torn to pieces from deep inside
but all these things I had continued to try to hide.

And then, as the dreaded day drew near
I was covered in sorrow, I was covered in fear
"I would be lost without you" I thought
along with other fears I continuously fought.

The day you left was the saddest moment in my life
I felt that I would forever live in sorrow and strife
Tears slowly made their way to my eyes
as you started to say your last goodbyes.

As you turned your back I felt alone
it was like my heart had suddenly been turned to stone
I was crying hard from deep inside
When my brother asked me if I was alright... I lied.

Going home without knowing you're not there anymore
just made me feel worse... a feeling I never felt before
All the memories of you flashing one by one
All the laughter, the fights, the smiles, the fun.

And so here I am, patiently waiting for you to come back
you're the one missing piece that lacks
I will remain forever true to you and our love
because I believe that what we have came from up above.
