Love In a Care Home Gone
If the only thing after all is said
and done
I have left come that fateful day
I am predestined to meet my end
Is I get to fall into your arms upon
my final long decent down
As for all the things I have seen
and places I have been
The only thing I wish to take
with me when I leave
Is only you and you alone
As love I know I have been from the
the moment we first met to this
present day
And although I don't bring you flowers
shower you with gifts as I really should
and you intern deserve
What we have is love
And if you die so shall I
As if you love so shall I as well
I love each precious passing moment
more I get to spend with you just
unashamedly watching you be you
sat knitting in your chair
I love you so much the thought of
you getting old is far too hard to bare
And seeing you now look at me as
If I were a stranger being cared for
by a stranger
Stripped of all the memories of our
entire life we spent both loving and
caring for one another
I'd rather the both of us fall into others
loving arms for one final time as if it
was our first
And see each other on the other side
once again
As after all is said and done this is
a fate far far worse than cruel than
anything death can possibly offer
Because if I cannot have and am
unable any longer to love you
Then surely I am dead already
