I watched you go
You did not cry
I held your hand
As we said goodbye
You closed your eyes
Took your last breath
Your pain was all over
As you welcomed death
I cried for you
Now the pain is in me
My broken heart
Will never be free
Another day passes
My life goes on by
I think of your memory
As I sit here and cry
I remember the good times
There were many we shared
And I always knew
That forever you cared
In time you grew weaker
And I cared for you
I promised I would be there
When the moments became few
I did it for love
Is all that I can say
Your life has gone
Death has taken you away
I will carry your memory
Right here in my heart
Until the time comes
That I too must part
