Every night of my life, I lay in bed at night wide awake…
“Every night of my life, I lay in bed at night wide awake when everyone's asleep. I take out and start to listen to that song I played a thousand times when I was with you. I listen to the song while the lyrics take me apart. Then I hold picture and I look at it. I look at that irresistible smile of yours and then I touch your face but I don't feel the warm sense like I used to anymore. I start to remember the moments I had with you and before I know it, the flashbacks hit me. I slowly feel the tears rolling down my cheeks and before I know it, they won't stop. I guess I still miss you.”
