I never knew what I had until the day you walked out/
Now, I'm all alone screaming "God, what now?"/
I reminisce every morning I wake up to an empty bed/
Knowing your laying with Him instead/
Then every night, I walk through a lonely house/
I think of you and wish you could hold me now/
But no matter how hard I try, I'm stuck flipping through scrap books/
A picture of our first date, our anniversary, and the pictures our friends took/
Then I put it back on the shelf and I go grab my jacket/
But I've been crying so hard, my body hurts to grab it/
So I go outside and walk 3 miles down the road/
Walk thought the black gate and stare down at the stone/
I try to act tough, but its hard with tears on my cheek/
But I gain some composure and begin to speak/
"Hey baby, happy birthday. Today, you'd be twenty three/
I know that your gone, but its hard knowing your not with me/
I know I'm almost eighteen, but I still love you everyday/
And every night I ask got why it had to happen this way/
I know that I can't hold you anymore, but I still hold you in my heart/
Every time I think of you, I find a light in the coldest dark/
I'm going to go now; I hope you watch me from above/
Because I know you still have space in your heart for my love./
