Now that your gone, and not here for me anymore, what can I do but force a fake smile and walk through life, but I'm mearly going through the motions.

Now that your laughter is no longer filling the air, only my nightmares, what can I do but stay awake so I dont wake up screaming your name.

Now that my heart is broken, after you filled it with so much love, what can I do but put a wall around it so it doesn't get damaged again.

Now that I am not a whole person anymore, the person you helped me become, what can I do but hide part of me, so its not so obvious that it is missing.

-

Even though your gone I know your still here for me, so Ill smile, because I know that's what you want me to do as I continue to walk through life.

Even though your laughter isn't filling the air anymore, the memory of it is almost as beautiful, so dream of it I will as I sleep peacefully with you watching over me.

Even though my heart is broken, the love is still inside, and you taught me love heals, so heal me I will let it so I can one day love again.

 Even though I am not the whole person I used to be, the part of me you taught to never hide my feelings is still there.
 I will uncover her, so she can help me know what I can do.
