The day you were gone

The day you were gone
It was like the world came to a halt
Everything slowed,
almost still
in your stead
The colors faded
And the sun dimmed
The world, for a moment
Died

The day you were gone
I cried myself to sleep
I cried at work
I cried at school
I cried into the arms of friends
The colors faded
And the sun dimmed
The world, for a moment
Died

The day they put you to rest
I missed you so
Regret filled my mind
I couldn't think
I couldn't breathe
The colors faded
And the sun dimmed
The world, for a moment
Died

The day I last saw your face
I couldn't help but remember
The smiles
The laughs
The good times gone
And the colors faded
The sun dimmed
The world, for a moment
Died

I realized
You were never coming back
I would never again laugh with you
Never again pray with you
Never again play my guitar with you
Never again
And the colors fade
The sun dims
The world, for a moment
Dies
