Night and day, I live my life
And wonder how he fairs
I dream of myself--his wife
He shows me that he cares
As I fix his breakfast
He reads the morning news
Not a word between is passed
The coffee slowly brews
I kiss him on the forehead
As I bend to place his meal
Our relationship is not dead
It merely lacks zeal
He smiles up at me
As he turns the page with care
And I wonder how my life might be
If he was not sitting there
Even now I return, to cold Reality
She stares me in the face
Dreams fade to despondency
And I have lost this race
The fight has ceased, and I have lost
The battle was never mine
And I have paid the greatest cost--
To lose him for all time
