For forever, you were mine,
Always mine, just mine,
And never anyone else's;
Everything was fine,
My life was fine
Better than everyone else's.

But when I lost you,
I lost my life,
I filled with sorrow---
Rising to strife;
The sobs were shaking,
My heart all aching,
And I lost myself,
Like I lost you...

Like I lost you...

The author's comments:
When you lose a loved one, whether it's through death, breakup, etc, it's tough. No one said heartbreak is an easy thing to get over because, truth is, it's not. If you lose someone, don't lose yourself with them.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
