Light and warmth are gone / Was it only in a dream / That I felt your love

No food or drink can / Bury or dull the pain of / Complete emptiness

She caught me looking / Out the corner of her eye / WHAT?! she said, laughing

Trying to focus / Board games on a food coma / After Thanksgiving

Fractured family / Together for Thanksgiving / Without mom this time

Laughter warms the air / Raise another glass, one more / Guffaws fade to black

Mad dash shower to / Find her asleep on our / Last night together

Walked her to her car / Only this time, this last time / She returned my keys

That unblinking stare / The dog wants out, but doesn't / Know how cold it is

Out walking the dog / The battery shop guy's eyes / Ask, "Where did she go?"

Still reaching for four / Before remembering I / Live alone on two

The love of my life / Remains the love of my life / Only from afar
