Next to Me

Location

It seems like I've been here before

This spot

This grave

And I keep wondering why

Why did things go so wrong

When I thought they were so right

And you were right here

Next to me

Talking to me

Smiling with me

What ended that

What put a stop to the happiness

And why is it that I can't see you anymore

Not here

Not now

And then I remember

I remember the loss

The crying 

The pain

I remember the paleness

The stillness

Of you lying there

Next to me

They told me you left and I didn't believe

Because just moments before

You were here

Next to me
