a thousand more

I've lost you twice
once as a friend
then again
as a lover
but now you're in a place
where I will never find you

I don't know why
God took you away
I don't know why
He didn't give me time
to say the things
I should have said
I'll never know

I'm left with more questions than answers
The answers I have don't make sense


I'm left with memories
of our time spent together
it's all I have
I'm afraid as time goes by
the memories will fade
faster than the time
God gave you

I wanted to say I'm sorry
sorry that I never told you
how much I really did love you
sorry that life had to take
us down two very different roads
sorry that the only time
I can admit to myself
that I miss you
you have to be so very far away

Most of all
I'm sorry for your family
that has to deal with their loss
in the very worst of ways

I've cried a thousand tears for you before
and right now
right here in front of everyone
I will cry a thousand more
