The Picture On My Dashboard
Breathing but not living,
Gone but not dead,
Filling up and empty void,
Filling up useless space.
You are gone now,
Away from my arms,
Leaving you at the airport,
Leaving my heart in Seattle.
You never know how much,
Your love for someone is,
Until they are gone,
Until they are out of sight.
Seeing a grown Marine cry,
Watching him as he leaves,
I sent my heart with him,
I sent my soul to California.
I feel lifeless and alone,
Careless and tied down,
Your picture as my guardian angel,
Your picture as my reason.
A promise made,
To come back alive,
I will be there when you come back,
I will be there to kiss you again.
