I was in love once it's true
and I told it to you
but you had your doubts
said I threw the words out
so I would not loose
that also was true
You said you could never love again
that we were better off as friends
death was to be her partner
and I was just the gardener
tending to her flowers
in her dwindling hours
*life gives and it takes
our hearts love till they break*
Then out of the blue
told me you met someone new
said you were in love
so I kicked up a fuss
asked what about us
that was the last that we spoke
some words they still choke
*life gives and it takes
our hearts love then they break*
Yet I still toiled and I prayed
not that you stayed
but that you were healthy and happy
I was just glad that you met me
see I was in love once it's true
and that someone was you
*life gives and it takes
our hearts love and they break*
Now you have passed
but some things still last
as death is your partner
I will be your gardener
and tend to your grave
with these poems I have made
*for life gives and it takes
our hearts don't make mistakes*.
