I thought I would see you smile
As I entered into your room
But as I saw the quiet white
It gave it a bit of gloom
I held you in my arms
As I sat upon your bed
Hoping you would hug me back
or even raise your sleeping head
We all thought you would live
and that you’d be okay
We believed you would love and walk
And sing for another day
But as I sat there
Your body in my hands
I remembered the best times we had
When we were both good friends
And as you passed away cradled in my arms
I cried both inside and out
My tears began to drip onto your cheek
And softly I began to pout
I pulled you even closer
Wishing it wasn’t true
but realizing you were gone
Was the hardest thing to do
It wasn’t easy to accept
As you laid there unaware
But inside I thought my heart had died
For this pain I couldn’t bare
I refused to let you go
And never lay you down
Before I gave you up
In my own tears I would drown
I prayed for a way
For you to still be alive
but as I came to my senses
I nearly lowered you from my side
Once again I hugged you tight
but none of this you could feel
It didn’t seem like this could happen
It didn’t seem like it was real
I felt you no longer breathe
Like you were when I came in
And as I sat there rocking in my place
I bellowed from deep within
I told you I loved you
Although you did not hear me
Because you are gone
But with me you will always be
I slowly lowered your body
Back onto your bed and cried
I didn’t think I could live
Knowing you had died
I sat there and held your hand for a while
Did you know I did?
I was praying to see you smile
But farewell I had to bid
As I crossed the room to exit
I heard you say it too
It wasn’t really words but in my heart
You said “I love you too”
