There was never a dull moment with you

You left a trail of magic everywhere you went

You held a joy so powerful you couldn’t help but share it with everyone you saw

But now you’re gone

And I don’t think the world will ever be the same

 

Life used to be my favorite meal

And now it’s lost all its flavor

And I can’t get myself to eat

 

Dog kisses feel dry

The flowers don’t have the courage to bloom

Pictures lack color and feel empty

Time is frozen still, chilling me to the bone

 

Life used to feel like a movie

But now it feels like someone forgot to turn the camera off

Everyone’s gone home

The lights have been turned off

And I’m just waiting

Hoping

For something else to happen

For you to reappear

To put a smile back on my face

But your part of the story is over

I know you’re still in every scene

Perhaps even more so now

But your watching from behind the screen

Just a fly on the wall

When you were always meant for the stage

 

You were the light in every tunnel

But now you’ve reached your end

And life is just a dark cave

My eyes will never adjust to

 

I don’t know how to exist without you

I don’t know that I ever will

I don’t want to

The magic you left behind is still here

But it’s harder to believe in now

Everything was so much easier with you here
