A joyless day awaits me
On this depressing day in May
The sun it may be shining
But I don't see a single ray

It was two years ago today
That you so gracefully gave up the fight
How much torment I've gone through
As I wished I was there that night

But I wasn't there to comfort you
That night a phone call I did take
That would change my life forever
And would cause my heart to break

You died that Sunday night
But I was unable to be there
I just hope and pray you realised
How much for you I cared

So similar we were
Somewhat loners me and you
How easily we'd talk with one another
And share our points of view

Sometimes we'd sit in silence
No words we needed to say
So comfortable we were with each other
As we'd pass the time of day

Along the beach now I drive in silence
This road that takes me to where you lay
Some flowers I'll take to your graveside
On this sad and dismal day

How my tears fall oh so freely
On these pages as I write
As I try so hard to finish this poem
Having to summon up all of my might

Even though I know you're gone
A part of me just won't let go
My love for you will never die
How much I wanted you to know
