A Stepping Stone

i thought of a song and it reminded me of you
reminded me of all that I've been through
it reminded me of your smile and your laugh
of how you were my twin, my other half

i hear the birds and reminisce about how you'd sing
and how you were my stronghold, my everything
i reminisce about your voice and the things you've said
every single word plays out in the back of my head

i look at the sky and i miss your face
i miss your love and your warm embrace
i miss knowing that you cared
when i could come to you and not be scared

i feel the grass and i miss your smell
i miss the times you'd say 'all is well'
i miss the way you'd make me smile
the way you made life somehow seem worthwhile

i miss your presence as i feel the air
i miss the times you said you'd always be there
you made me believe in humanity and believe in love
i felt like you were my guardian angel sent from above

i remember everything until i cry
and all i ever think about is why
what bad things have i done
to deserve the taking away of my sun

i suppose things will never be the same
and i don't know the reasons that are to blame
my heart has been shattered, I'm devastated at best
i cant get you out of my mind and it makes me depressed

i guess i have no other choice so this is goodbye
with no earthly clue of the reasons why
why you have left me broken hearted and all alone
i guess this will be merely a stepping stone
