Silent Christmas

Christmas morning you were not by my side
Was it all worth it, that thing called pride?
I woke in the morning and gave a silent prayer
That I could reach to my side and find you there.
You were the one who held me at night
So warm and tender, yet so very tight.

On Christmas Eve' I wished you the best
But there was an emptiness in my chest.
I could still feel your arms around me tight
That feeling will stay for many a night.
Someday I'll wake up and feel no sorrow
But I know that day will not be tomorrow.

There is something missing in my heart
The thought of Christmas and we were apart.
Silent tears fell down my face to the floor
Knowing what was once will be no more.
My love for you was hidden, even from me,
It has crept out of hiding so silently.

You are the only one I'll ever love this way,
I thought of you often on Christmas Day
But my thoughts were silent, just for me
With my family beside me I was happy.
The thoughts I gave as your gift that day
Was a wish you find peace as you go on your way.
