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…
