Missing from me

You are missing from me

Every day I think of you

And my heart aches

I want to hold you

Like I never got to

Those seven years ago

You never had a chance

Life was taken away

As quickly as it came

I never had a chance

To love you like you deserve

And watch you be you

We never had the chance

But you are always with me

In my heart and in my mind

When I think of you

I get mixed emotions

First a tear and then a smile

I will always love you

You are always on my mind

And in my heart you will stay
