I thought that wall would be hard and cold,
But when I touched that wall, there were feelings untold.

I was sad and filled with a lot of pain,
Because on that wall I touched my loved one's name.

We never had a wall between us till now.
It's hard to understand the why's and how.

My soul feels hard, cold and unforsaken,
That wall reminds me of the way you were taken.

We had grown so close in our years together,
We thought we had each other forever.

But on that wall with my loved one's name,
My heart stays warm for the love and memories that remain.
