Xarifa Cooper - The One Left Behind

The One Left Behind
All I want is the life I used to have
When you were here
Sharing our thoughts, our dreams
Our laughter and our love

When I woke each morning
I looked forward to the day
Because you were there
My companion and soulmate

Yes we had our disagreements
Our ups and downs
But at the end of the day
We never slept on a quarrel

Now you have left me all alone
To deal with what the future may hold
Do I face long years of emptiness
Waiting for the call to join you

Perhaps time will be short
And you will come for me soon
Until then I must carry on
Longing for the life I used to have
Before I became the one left behind.
