We thought of you today

But that is nothing new

We thought of you yesterday

And will tomorrow too

We think of you in silence

And make no outward show

For what it meant to lose you

Only those who love you know

Remembering you is easy

We do it every day

It’s the heartache of losing you

That will never go away.
