The Last Goodbye

We were heading from home, having a blast We didn’t know that moment was going to be our the last We were the perfect couple, my baby and me We were driving in the dark, the car we didn’t see When we saw it, it was far too late I instantly turned right and stamped on the brakes The car hit another and we skidded off the road Our car flipped over…one, two, three, four… I don’t even remember the car stopping I remember waking up, feeling like a huge mountain I looked over, and beside me was my baby bleeding I took one look and began weeping I knew he couldn’t make it I knew he was going to die I couldn’t do nothing else but cry My baby turned his head, and in his eyes I saw the pain At that moment I knew this was no game I took his head and put it in my lap He told me all he wanted was to take a long, long nap I told him he couldn’t, weeping all the while He shook his head and gave me that wonderful smile He said to me “be strong, I’ll love you forever” I told him “You shouldn’t give up, Never” He closed his eyes and told me he will always be at my side He then shook his head and told me not to cry He told me to give him one last kiss I leaned down and granted him his one wish Before I sat back up I heard him whisper “Forever” At that moment, my baby became still as stone I started crying thinking “this is so wrong” My baby was my life, and now he’s gone I think of him all the time, trying not to cry But most of all, I’ll always remember our last goodbye
