There’s no me
Without you
There was you
Before me
There’s me
Because of you
There’s me
But there’s no more you
Looking over my shoulder
Watching me get older
Buying my favourite things
Guiding me through everything
Teaching me to be strong
Scolding me when I’m wrong
Taming me everyday
To the woman I am today
Life’s been tough
Without you
I never imagined life
Without you
Now I have to live life
Without you

Lovely combination of us moving life together
Can so relate to it. Beautifully expressed.
I love how you wittingly managed to satiate the suspense with an anti-climax. Amazing work!
Thank you! It means a lot coming from you.
This has been my feeling for a while now….you penned down the exact emotions💗💗
I hear we’ll feel better in time. Keep hanging in there 🤗
This is beautiful ❤
