Need to be next to you...

Well, apparently I'm not doing as well on my own as I once thought I could. I never realised how much of a married person I'd really become until now actually. When I go out, I'm fine. It's all good. But then I get back home to an empty house and suddenly it's like a part of me's gone missing. I'm not a big proponent of the whole losing yourself to another person thing because it always seemed to mean that you couldn't be complete unless you were with someone else but I guess that slowly over the years, that complete person has become more whole because of Sprite. (Not the drink)And now that she's not around, the "complete me" just isn't enough anymore.
I was driving home just now and the best of "Sixpence none the Richer" album that she bought me for Christmas was playing. And there's a song that struck home:
So here's to the one who I'm missing now.

Been running from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart I didn't mean it
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I feel inside

But I need to be next to you
I need to share every breath with you
I need to know I can see you smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you near with you oh I
I need to be next to you
Need to be next to you

Right here with you is right where I belong
I lose my mind if I can't see you
Without you there's nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not there
I can't fight what I feel anymore

Cause I need to be next to you
I need to share every breath with you
I need to know I can see you smile each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life
Here with you near with you oh I
I need to be next to you
