Jacqui Broad - Ten Years After

I gave you the most precious gift
a girl can give to any man...
I knew if I had troubles,
to you I could ran.
You were my friend.
You were my lover.
You were my everything.
I did not always comprehend.
I did not always hover.
But in honor to you I sing...
Hear my song, my love, up in heaven.
God came and took you away,
but I had my time to spend with you,
and in heartache I don't have much to say.
If I must talk and tell of your greatness,
I feel a lumb in my throat and start to cry.
If I think of you and the loneliness I feel,
I look up to God and ask Him why.
Why did He choose to take you
and leave me behind?
What did I do wrong in His eyes
to leave doubt in my mind?
I cannot question Him because He knows best.
My darling, all I can think of is you needed rest.
If you cannot be with me any more in person,
I ask God that you be my guardian angel.
I ask Him that you'll still always be there,
if in times of trouble it's to heaven I stare.
I loved you and I know that you knew.
Ten years spent with you was not enough.
My words of love may seem like too few.
I loved you, therefore gave you love.
God knows I miss you,
so now, He must see me through.
If He thought this is the path to walk,
then He must understand the hurt in my talk.
So allow me to say it, though you cannot hear.
When I say it, in spirit you must appear.
'I LOVE YOU! ' and perhaps always will,
but your reply to this words has grown still...
To Derick, my love, passed away on 11/11/11.
