View Profile September 16, 2008, 10:29:48 PM How can the sun still shine so brightly birds sing and circle cloudless sky in flight flowers bloom still fragrant as ever and day still roll on gently in to night . How can this road that often we have driven where folk still stand and chatter in the street and children play while my own grief unhidden reflects in eyes of all those I meet . How can the shopping precints be so full and television programmes be the same and music on the airwaves keep on playing and never once a mention of your name . How can ordinary things that once I took for granted continue on as though things are just the same and every where your memory is planted and every breath I take breathes out your name Take my arms for I nolonger need them There is noone now I wish to hold and taste and touch and sound will have no meaning or summers warmth or winters icy cold . Take away the laughter , take those who still niave have life intact take all the colour from the world it has no place here for my own world is shrouded now in black . Without you there's no reason for the sunshine No need to wrap up warm on starlit night Stand on a beach or watch a sunset My coloured world is changed to black and white I wander round our old familiar places , recalling you and how we used to be Around me just gaps and empty spaces And words that bring no comfort yet to me . How can the sun still shine so brightly Birds sing and circle cloudless skies in flight Flowers bloom as fragrantly as ever and day still roll on gently in tonight
