The rain is gently falling now
the world is sound asleep
I’m laying here and wide awake
emotions running deep
I close my eyes and think of you
so lonely in this place
The racing thoughts within my mind
replay our last embrace
My world is such a mess right now
an aching deep within
I wish that I could turn back time
and bring you back again
So brilliant were you in my life
a diamond shining bright
I never thought it’d end this way
I’m missing you tonight

This is just so perfectly describing the pain and anguish of a love lost. I love your honesty where you never skip the finer details, more you make those often skipped particles and make those the parts to remember ...thanks Karen ps the last two lines speak volumes...
