The Day My Life Ended

The day we met
My life began
We both knew it was love
Our hearts were one and our minds the same
Until that hot summers day
You were driving home to see me
After a hard days work
You never made it home that night
You weren’t far from home when it happened
A car came from round the corner
It was moving too fast
You didn’t have time to move 
It was over in seconds, the pain faded soon
You were gone and they were alive, thats all I knew
My eyes were full of tears, my heart full of pain
I knew I’d never seen you again
My life ended that day
