I saw what was done
My heart filled with tears
With hurt and with pain
I hadn't felt in years

Your eyes lost their shine
Eyelids closed like shades
As I try to remember
But everything fades

The peace that I once had
You took that with you, love
Up into the heavens
And all that sky above

But I can't tell anyone
That you have left
Because you are here
Charged with crimes of theft

Why, do you ask?
Because you stole hearts
Took them with you that day
As the world without you starts

It was difficult, I'll admit
To have to know you're gone
But I have many different ways
To treat the memories I've spawned

I could make you laugh or cry
A world with you, so much better
I could make you see the planet
Or make you write a letter

My darling, I could make you rich
Sigh as my story continues
But deep inside my very soul
The flame inside me fuels

At the end of the day
No matter what I dream
I'm still just remembering
That of which just seems

Change my world, please
That is what I want
Not rubies, nor diamonds
Or something to flaunt

It's becoming so much harder
To live without you, dear
So please come back to me
Forever to be near

All those memories fade again
To lands of truth and lies
And nothing can be sadder
Than saying those goodbye's

But hear me out this once
Your birth is coming this year
And my gift to you, darling
Is my body, my mind, my fear

Why would these be important?
You must be asking, right?
Well, dear, that's all you left me
For day, dawn, dusk and night

And I can hear those whispers
Those little things you would say
If your mouth were still useful
Or if you were here today

There's something to understand
I want you, of all people, to know
You really changed my world
And I never wanted to let go

But, looking back, I can see
That same day that you died
I gaped at you, for all to see
And then I even cried

I want to have you once again
See your eyes, your hair, your face
I want to see you in that chair
See you in your rightful place

Your birthday comes closer, dear
You remind me of honey, onyx and ice
Like the kids I love so much
But that never could suffice

No one can take your place
I hope that you, darling, know this
You are first, the best, number one
You're the first that I would miss

Under an October night sky
I count until October thirty-first
The day that you and I
Can finally quench our thirst

Thank you for being there for me, dear
But, yet still, I need you closer here
