Where did you go?

Where did you go, my love and my life,
When you left me with no one to hold?
There must be a place that I cannot go
Needs your spirit courageous and bold.

Where did you go, with half of my soul
When you left in the dark lonely night?
The one that I loved could only have gone
To be warrior in some vital fight.

Where did you go when you put in my hands
The things that still need to be done?
You'd never have left if you had any choice
For the race was still left to be run.

Where did you go my partner, my friend,
The one who completed my life?
Are you wandering on some distant shore?
Are you thinking of your lonely wife?

Where did you go, my lover, my strength,
Leaving me to live out our dreams?
Is death just a portal, a door we must pass?
Is death really not what it seems?

Where did you go, my courage, my song,
With notes that were left to be sung?
We'd planned growing old together, my love.
You were still, in my eyes, very young.

Where did you go, with life left to live
And many depending on you?
You gave us so much and taught even more.
That knowledge will carry us through.

Where did you go, my hope and my pride,
Is there meaning in all that I feel?
I only know that the treasure you were
Will be in my life ever real.

Where you did go with my heart in your hands
I'll know when I leave life behind.
In all my dreams I am holding your hand
Those tomorrows are still there to find.
