"Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down

I miss you being here,
my heart breaks each night
without you,
I cannot keep pretending.

I know you don’t understand
but I need to tell you,
this is not easy for me,
my heart aches for you.

I think about you lying next to me,
I want to hold you
in my arms tonight,
to give you gentle, loving kisses.

I hate myself
for keeping secrets from you,
for pushing you away,
for I do love you
and I always will.

"Anymore" by Travis Tritt

This is so sad I almost cried. A lot of emotion comes from this poem.
