Love

"The Empty Chair"

The chair sits empty now,
Where you once sat beside me,
I reach out to touch you,
But all I feel is emptiness.

I hear your laughter echo,
In the halls of our home,
But it's a cruel reminder,
That you're no longer here.

I see your face in every room,
But it's a memory that fades,
Leaving me with an ache in my heart,
That nothing can replace.

I'll hold on to the love we shared,
And the memories we made,
And I'll keep your chair warm,
Until we're together again.

02

Love

"The Silence of Your Absence"

The silence is deafening,
Where your voice once was,
I reach out to hold you,
But all I feel is emptiness.

I see you in my dreams,
But I wake to find you gone,
Leaving me with a heart that aches,
For the love that will live on.

I'll hold on to the love we shared,
And the memories we made,
And I'll keep your memory alive,
In the silence of your absence.

03

Love

"A Love That Endures"

The love we shared was like a rose,
Beautiful and strong,
But now the petals have fallen,
And my heart feels so wrong.

But even though the rose may die,
The love we shared will always live,
For it's a love that endures,
Through the pain and through the grief.

I'll hold on to the love we shared,
And the memories we made,
And I'll keep your love alive,
In my heart forever.
