In the Quiet of Your Absence

My heart aches in the quiet of your absence.
How long will I last?
Without my hand in yours
it feels wrong
With the disapproval in their eyes
it feels wrong.
I need answers,
but where do I find them?

My heart aches in the quiet of your absence.
Where do we go from here?
Life feels incomplete
without you in it
My heart would be lost
without you in it.
I still need answers,
but where do I find them?

My heart aches in the quiet of your absence.
What does God want us to do?
No matter what people say
I need you here
I won't back down now
I need you here.
I have not found answers and things still look grim.
Where do I search that I have not yet looked?

----- TAKE TWO -----

My heart aches in the quiet of your absence.
There's nothing I can do,
there's nothing I can say
but i'll stay strong
and continue to hold on.

With your voice gone,
things feel quiet.
Without your smile to brighten my day,
the room is dark.
Without your touch,
the world is empty and I feel alone.
With you gone,
things are simply not the same.

I know it wasn't by choice
that things have changed.
I wish I had been sensible enough
to have seen the consequences of our actions coming.

Our mistakes differ,
but in essence they are the same.
How can be start to prove,
if we continue to disappoint?
