Missing You

All these years you were always there,
the voice from behind me,
the gentle presence over my shoulder,
I got so used to you being here,
the friendly face that always greeted me.
Through the ups and downs, we laughed and cried,
but now all I feel is emptiness inside.
For your reassuring presence is beyond my reach,
And your voice can only be heard in my memories.
I know you're in a better place and are whole once again,
With your heavenly father, who you loved so much.
Yet, as I stay behind and stare at your empty chair,
With the memories of you flowing with my tears,
I can't help but feel empty inside,
Because I'm missing YOU
