On our 49th wedding anniversary I visited you today,

I wanted to speak to you anyway, I just needed to hear your voice,

I try so often lately, I cannot keep away, this feeling I have to hear your voice every single day.

Sometimes I think these silences are something so unreal,

Long periods of nothing, where you don't know how I feel, but yet I know you understand these silent words I say,

It's just that I need to hear your voice every single day.

I sit here and I wonder why, who did this thing to us, who created this long silence, why was this meant to be ?

I look around our empty home, I call your silent name, but the silence bears down on me, and the silence stay the same.

My life is less brighter now since you have gone away.

I will try to speak to you again every single day.

I love you dearly and always will, carry on sleeping peacefully and I will be with you one day.
