Reality

I see her in the smile of a passerby
I bow my head and try not to cry
No one knows the pain I feel
They don't know this ache is real
How can you miss someone you never knew?
How can you not know someone who meant so much to you?
She's not even gone and my heart is in tears
A world without her is a world full of fears
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And in my eye the world's beauty grows colder
Steadily
She means so much to me
You never think someone is going to leave you
Until they're gone
A life without her is a life without dreams
Without hope
Too much reality
It's crushing me
