I cry a million tears

For the arms that no longer reach out to give me a hug,

For the twinkle in his eye when we share a joke,

For the voice that I no longer hear on the phone

Telling me about his day and just to say he loves me.

I cry a million tears

For the places we will no longer travel

For the adventures we can never share,

For the winter and Christmas bonfires that you loved,

For the little poems that you wrote in the cards that you gave me.

I cry a million tears

To know that although your journey is winding down mine is just beginning alone,

To realize the people trying to make decisions for you will never know the wonderful but flawed man you are

And though you may not see signs of sadness on my face

I cry a million tears.
