My mind says he's gone

My heart says no

Can't you feel his love?

Can't you feel his presence?

My mind says he's gone

My heart says no

Don't you remember the times you shared?

Don't you smile at the little things he did for you?

My mind says he's gone

My heart says no

You are strong because of his love he had for you

You are strong because of his wisdom he shared with you

My mind says he's here

My heart says I don't know

I wake up and look for him, but he's not here

I start to talk to him, and then I realize he's not here.

I begin to weep, the pain of loss is so strong.

My mind says he's gone

My heart says he may be gone,

but as long as I have my memories and never let them die,

He will be here with me.
