Days Gone By Poem by Ray Hansell

The emptiness in my heart
The pain inside my soul
The sadness of my spirit
My life feels so cold

These hands that have held no one
These lips that have never kissed
If you never had something
Then there’s nothing about that you’d miss

The days pass by so slowly
Those long and empty nights
It seems that for so long
Nothing ever went right

Then one day without warning
A feeling came over me
When I looked across the room
You were the only one I could see

I couldn’t get you
Out of my head
I remember everything
You ever said

Now looking back
At the days gone by
I’m happy again
You’re the reason why

You live right here inside my heart
I pray that you always will
Because every time I greet you
It’s another exciting thrill
