I Wasn't Ready

Here I stay beside your grave, With fresh flowers and words unsaid. I talk to you like you're still here, Though only silence fills the air. And like a fool, I speak your name, Hoping somehow you'll hear my pain. The world moves on, but I stand still, Missing you more than words ever will. Oh, how am I supposed to live With all this love I have to give? My heart still calls, my soul still cries, Since the day we said goodbye. I wasn't ready to let you go, There's so much love you'll never know. I reach for you in the dead of night, But you're not there to hold me tight. My days are long, my nights are cold, I'm lost without the hand I used to hold. And if my tears could bring you home, You'd never have to sleep alone. Here I stay beside your grave, Still loving you beyond the day. Every evening, I close my eyes, And search for you there by my side. A million memories fill my head, I hear your voice inside my bed. I turn to touch you in the dark, But all I find's an aching heart. The life we built, the dreams we knew, I would give anything to be with you. Tell me, how do I carry on, When half of me with you is gone? I breathe, I walk, I face the day, But nothing feels the same this way. I wasn't ready to let you go, There's so much love you'll never know. I reach for you in the dead of night, But you're not there to hold me tight. My days are long, my nights are cold, I'm lost without the hand I used to hold. And if my tears could bring you home, You'd never have to sleep alone. Here I stay beside your grave, Still loving you beyond the day. If heaven has a place for us, I'll wait for you, I'll keep my trust. And when my time on earth is through, I hope I'll find my way to you. Until that day, I'll speak your name, I'll bring you flowers through the rain. For death can take you from my sight, But never from this heart of mine. I wasn't ready to say goodbye, I still ask heaven the reason why. I would trade a thousand tomorrows To take away this world of sorrow. And though your hands I cannot hold, Our love is more than death can own. I'll carry you in all I do, Every beat still belongs to you. Here I stay beside your grave, With all the love I could not save. And when the stars give way to day, I'll miss you more than words can say. I wasn't ready… I wasn't ready… My love, I wasn't ready To let you go.
