The Absence of Perfection

The absence of  perfection 

Because of life interception 

Leaves us with a bad taste in our mouths

How could someone as incredible as him Be taken so soon? 

How can you fill a world with more tears then there's room?

What is the point are you trying to get across?

How can you expect us to cope with the loss after loss?

I have so many questions,with no reason why

Why did you chose him? Why our handsome guy?

What did we do to deserve this pain?

If I knew, I would take it all back for his life we'd regain.

Some days I can't eat, and most nights I can't sleep it seems

But I still hope and pray every night you'll come to my dreams.

Tell me what's it like? Being where you are?

Tell me that it's beautiful and you're sitting among the stars 

Tell me that you're okay and that the others are with you now

Tell me that you're at peace and that well all be okay somehow

Tell me that this is all how it's supposed to be

Tell me that there's a valid reason that you were taken from me 

Tell me that you're okay and that's you're not alone 

Tell me one day we all will be able to come on home 

Tell me that you're with us in everything we do

And tell me that when I think you're there that it's really you.

The absence of  perfection 

Because of life interception

Will never make sense in my head 

But until it does, I will raise my standards, 

I will never settle for less,

and I remember you with every  tear shed.
