I don't know how

As time goes by, naturally people come and go 

But I miss her so much, I cannot let go. 

I simply don't know how. 

The sound of her voice, that gentle light touch 

How can I not so deeply miss her? 

I simply don't know how. 

 Reaching out for the phone, as I did each morning.

To tell her about something silly and have a giggle.

I have to remember she not here. 

But I don't know how. 

The other million little things, all the time they come, 

Leave me with a pain so raw...and now I think, 

When its time for me to go, I hope I don't leave you, my children, in the same way. 

But I don't know how.
