Exactly Like You

In case your wondering
what I did today

I bowed down my head
and I began to pray

I ask of the father 
if there is a way
to help understand 
why you had to go away

I ask if he could help me
start my live anew 
with someone else different
exactly like you

exactly like you in all but one way
you see I needed a love
that won't go away

And I ask that for you 
he would do the same
and wash away our tears 
and give no one blame

and accept our losses 
in a graceful way
and find someone new 
that wouldn't run away,

from the trials, and tribulation,
that we face everyday

our imperfections, and mistakes
that all humans make
like the mistakes we made
that got in love's way 

and I ask help to do better 
with somebody new 
and not chase them away 
just like I did you.

because I know that 
I'm good enough
and I do deserve love

I still pray that he'll send it 
from heaven about

I believe that he heard as I did pray
and I believe that he'll answer 
but in his own way

He knows from my heart, 
for these things I ask
And it is not unrealistic 
to find a true heart that lasts

and anyway, 
I think he has a soft spot in his heart for me
