I feel a warmth around me

Like your presence is so near,

And I close my eyes to visualize

Your face when you were here.

I endure the times we spent together

And they are locked inside my heart,

For as long as I have those memories

We will never be apart,

Even though we can speak no more

My voice is always there,

Because every night before I sleep

I have you in my prayer.
