To the angel heaven gained To the angel heaven gained

Most times when I wake up in the morning,

You are usually the first thought in my mind

Today I listened to Sheeran’s new song

And you were the first person I thought of

The song imagines if heaven had visiting hours

You know you’d be the first person I’d want to see



Most times when good things happened to me

You used to be the first person I’d want to tell

It’s worse for my worries, fears, and tribulations

Because you would always sense them before I even told you

Today when I listened to Sheeran’s new song

It dawned on me that I miss that person



Has it been better ever since? No, I can’t lie, no

Will it get better? I pray and hope so

I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad

So I’ll cherish all the good moments, and all that you taught me

I will always pray for you, I hope you do the same for us

And my love for you will always be way strong

Beyond time, beyond distance, beyond how words could ever express…
