Last Time

The last time he said he loved me,
 The only time saying it on his own
 The only time I could really see
 He thought being with me was where he belonged
 The day a distant memory
 I will always see so clearly
 Because we will always share a bond
 So I may never hear his voice again, 
 Or remember how hard I cried
 Because I knew we were only what could have been,
 And we had a love that would die
 Once I thought there'd be a different ending
 Much different than the one I know now
 Never knowing I'd end up spending, 
 Every day a new beginning,
 With a daughter he'll never know anything about
