CAN YOU SIT AND TALK WITH ME?  by: Linda Law

These last few days have been filled with such emotion
Remembering how once our lives were filled with such devotion
And no matter what I do, my mind still connects with you
Yesterday the ache was strong, just chalked it up to being blue
The roads I walk are filled with holes and darkness
When in the best of times, I'm blessed beyond the starkness
The weight upon my chest seems heavy and takes my breath
Yet I know, it's nothing more than what I feel is emptiness
How can I say that I am happy, and I do believe that I am...
And I know you understand.. I miss your love, and need to be loved again..
Just as you told me times before, without you...I can

Some days I look around in search of you in the hopes
that you can sit and talk with me... Just sit and talk with me...
You always listened, you always knew... even in the silence
Oh what a friend ... the very best friend...you always were to me
In the morning when I wake, I sometimes hear your little tune
Sometimes your scent; your presence seems to fill the room
Those days of knowing you had it all covered, knowing I didn't
You'd be surprised I think, to see how much I have hidden,
The world sees me strong and bright, and inside it is empty
What would you say if you could stay just for awhile
Would you understand, give me advice, or simply smile

Does this mean that life will always be one to keep me guilty
When I know you're gone, you're safe with God, I am happy
  So, I don't mean that I am ungrateful, simply that I miss you
Our yesterdays are sealed and mine forever not to share
Today is fresh, and I've withstood the tests, yet there is always
emptiness... If you could just sit and talk with me...

Would you be sad or disappointed in how our lives have changed
It seems as if we placed too much upon your heart with burdens
Then it took awhile before I could begin to plan for tomorrow
You wouldn't even know me now, I cook, I drive, I'm not so afraid
No longer am I Ms.Daisy, as I take the wheel from state to state
You'd be amazed how fast I clear truckers off the highways
Our kids are grown, the grandbabies are now having babies
I searched the web for a man, if otherwomen could, I knew I can
Who would have thought an oldie like me would get another look
Yet, here I am...starting life again... just wrote my first, second and third books, yes my love.. I did it!

I don't know why, as each month comes along, even though it could be October... That was our time
then I remember that December was our time, the way we spent so much for the holidays, then it was February, and you were my Valentine..so I showered you with gifts and candy....you loved the getting
then the end of February was my time... and you did all the giving
Can't forget how April was the springtime and you'd take me on long drives...while July was the kids time, with lots of food and happy
So, I guess, each month seemed to be our time, while we were together.. but now the sad times seem to come with the weather..

This is the only way that I can say what is heavy on my heart
how I miss you still, and wish you could just sit and talk with me
