One side filled with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day; But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. You see life has gone on without you, but will never be the same.
