I wrote this after listening once again to my mum telling me how much she misses my dad.
My Missing Half


Its six months now since you’ve been gone
I miss you everyday
I can’t adjust to being one
It’s never been that way

I think I see you in your chair, I lay your place for tea
I cook a meal for two before I realise there’s only me
I wake and wonder where you are, why you’re not by my side
And then it all comes flooding  back, the tears flow like the tide

I cannot fill the  empty space,  that’s here deep in  my heart
I never thought the day would come when we would be apart
The girls are very, very good, they come in every day
They stay with me for hours on end but then they go away

I know they have their lives to live,  they can’t stay here with me
Their company is very nice but you I need to see
I can’t adjust to being  one,  we’ve always been a pair
I never want things for myself,  I always want  to share

I know deep down that you are gone,  to some place high above
Where pain is none existent,  just peace and warmth and love
I know you will be waiting and looking out for me
Two halves should be together for all eternity
