A Solemn Goodbye

Its time to say goodbye to you
I guess I know that now
I don't know what happened
But you're gone there is no doubt

To say my heart is broken
does not justice give
Its so very hard to just
find the will to live.

My love for you was all there was
When we were here together
I had thought that it always
was meant to last forever

But that day you went away 
My soul knew something secret
That I would never see you again
No reason for it given

I always thought that you'd be back
as you always had been
But the accident took you away
and you went straight to Heaven

The streets in Heaven are too crowded tonight
For you have joined them there
An angel taking her rightful place
Watching over us down here

I hope someday I earn a place
Beside you on those streets
Helping you to guide all you love
To our own eternity

OH, so sad, brought tears to my eyes. So sorry for your loss. I understand a little better now. This a very beautiful write. Your love for her shines through and, love is eternal. Someday you will be together again, I have no doubt. Thanks for sharing, Caroline.
