A soul piercing ballad about life after the loss of a loved one

2 years ago my father died after a 10 year battle with brain cancer. This song was written after seeing the heartache and despair my mother faced in losing the love of her life. It is written from her perspective and based on conversations I had with her. After the song was finished, I played the whole thing for her and let her pick the title. She chose the last line, "My heart still wears your name".

My sky turned gray
The day you went away
I dream of your face
I miss you
Our friends wore black
But that won't bring you back
And they all ask what I need
But I need you
This is a love song
Even though I know you're gone
If you can hear me
I miss you
I miss you
It's been two years
Two years full of tears
But tears won't bring you here
I miss you
This is a love song
Even though I know you're gone
If you can hear me
I miss you
I miss you
There is a danger in love
For to love and lose is an earth shattering fall
But better to have loved and lost
Than never loved at all
This is a love song
Even though I know you're gone
If you can hear me
I miss you
I miss you
They say the pain goes away
But I'll never be the same
My heart still wears your name
