Waking up suddenly, I turn over to see,
The empty space where you used to be.
You were once so alive but now you are gone.
I remember you sleeping but something went wrong.
I shook you so hard but you wouldn't wake up.
I cried out your name but your eyes stayed shut.
Even though it's so late, my call goes through,
To the other woman I love as much as you.
I hear her soft voice as she answers the phone
"Hi mom, I can't sleep and I knew you'd be home."
"Are you still thinking about her? It's been so long,
You can't keep doing this John; you've got to move on."
"I can't just move on how can I forget?
How would you feel if dad up and left?"
"I know it is hard, but from this you'll grow
And soon just like her, you'll learn to let go."
