Come enjoy this romantic poem!
THERE’S AN EMPTY SPACE BESIDE ME,
AS I LAY ALONE IN BED,
A SPACE ONCE WARM AND TENDER,
A PLACE YOU LAID YOUR HEAD.
THERE’S AN EMPTY SPACE BESIDE ME,
AS I EAT MY MEAL AT NIGHT,
WHERE WE LAUGHED AND TALKED TOGETHER,
IN THE EVENINGS FADING LIGHT.
THERE’S AN EMPTY SPACE BESIDE ME,
AS I WALK THE GARDEN PATH,
OUR HANDS NO LONGER CLASPING,
IT’S WRONG WE ARE APART.
MY HEART IT’S NEVER EMPTY,
IT’S A PLACE YOU ARE STILL NEAR,
YOU’LL ALWAYS BE BESIDE ME,
TO WIPE AWAY THE TEARS.
