I imagined life without you
Thinking of how I could do it
Trying to move on after losing you
I don't think I'd get through it.
When I imagined life without you
The greatest pain I ever knew befell me
A gut wrenching, heart breaking pain
That hurt so much I couldn't see.
As I imagined life without you
Numbness had me under its spell
So many thoughts ravaged my mind
My legs weakened and I fell.
I couldn't move or get up
As I laid there on the ground
I could see pieces of me floating away
As unknown faces gathered around.
Muffled voices became whispers
As I seemed to drift off into space
Yet I was brought back to reality
When your hand touched my face.
Because I imagined life without you
I got a glimpse into what it's like to be alone
No smile to see each day
No voice to hear over the phone.
Since imagining life without you
I cherish each day that we see
The sun and moon taking turns
Keeping watch over us vigilantly.
Living life without you
Is a time I pray never comes to view
Because I'd never be whole again
If I had to live my life without you.
