"Me Minus You"

Written by:
Eric DeRenzis

Nothing can change
that one fateful night,
For once in our lives,
we lost the fight.

We spoke about this,
and it somehow came true.
I was hurt pretty bad,
but nothing like you.

The night should have
ended like the rest of them did,
With a pat on the shoulder
and a farewell bid.

We didn't have a chance
to say our goodbyes,
I knew you were gone when
I looked in your eyes.

What brought us together
is what ripped us apart.
I can't keep my mind straight,
and it's hurting my heart.

From two different worlds
we came to be Blue.
It's hard to move on,
with me minus you.

Not much at all
feels the same anymore,
Each day I wish you
would walk through the door.

My wounds have all healed
on the surface it's true,
Yet it tears me apart
just thinking of you.

I couldn't go to
your service that day.
The world's not allowed
to see me this way.

You were my partner then,
and my angel now.
I need to carry on,
I'm just not sure how.

Give me the same strength
you did here on earth.
Your weight in gold
is what you were worth.

I beg you to help me
from Heaven above.
Please send me a piece
of your brotherly love.

"When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer, it's an entire nation."
