Another year begins now
One more since you left
The memories grow older
A heart that’s so bereft

Your smile it simply vanished
Died with beating heart
The daily struggle we call life
Is harder were apart

The power to live each moment
In memory of you
Provides courage inside me
That always pulls me through

You told me I would make it
That life would be a game
Yet I’ve forgotten how to play
Smoke replaces flame

All the things I’d said I’d be
Are lost in a world of fear
Since you left the strength has gone
Replaced by many tear

A picture hangs above my bed
On the day of fiery sun
Where we were once invincible
And life had just begun

Next time you look down on me
Make that sun shine bright
For I need to believe again
I have to prove you right

Dreams can fade in time
That much I can concede
Give me strength to win again
For us I will succeed
