IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME

I miss you so much, I'm hurting
I'm sad and I'm angry -
All at the same time,
But most of all, I'm lonely.

Why did you go, why now?
When everything was going so good.
You left me all alone;

It never occurred to me you would.

THE PAIN THAT DOESN'T SHOW

I can't believe it's been a year
Since I've held you close.
How I've coped and made it through,
Only God will ever know.
It seems like only yesterday
That you were in my arms, so soft;
But yet it feels like an eternity,
That I've been without your love.

Almost a year's gone by;
It's just to un-real.
So many memories to hold on to;
So many feelings to feel.
Baby boy, I miss you more,
Than anyone will ever know.
They don't see the hurt inside,
The pain that doesn't show.

GOODBYE

Once you've left, please don't forget,
I'll always love you so.
Mem'ries of you will never fade,
As I won't let them go.

You've become a special part of me,
That no-one else will see;
As this is a special part,
That is only known by me.

God held out His hand to take you now,
Though why, I cannot understand.
I know you'll be cared for, and are at peace,
In a far more beautiful land.

But now the time has come,
And I can't help but to cry.
Before you go, just one last thing,
I love you Levi, goodbye.
