We were so young when we met for the first time I told you then that you would always be mine We talked about marriage and having two kids You always ran through my mind behind my eyelids The distance between us never weakened our love Spending time with you, it’s all that I dreamed of Making promises of forever, our feelings would never fade But on that cold December day, everything changed They tried everything, but it was to no avail I was gone before you could even exhale They knocked on your door and told you the news You refused to believe it, how could I be gone so soon? Years pass by, and you slowly begin to heal But at night you have nightmares that feel too real Reaching for me to find her instead You never felt rested in that cursed bed You never stop visiting me, where I live underground I see you going home with her, but I can’t make a sound It breaks my heart that I can’t be there But I really want you to be happy, I swear They say love lasts until the day you die But they never knew the love between you and I I can’t physically be with you, and you’ve moved on But my heart is with you, I’m never really gone

We were so young when we met for the first time I told you then that you would always be mine We talked about marriage and having two kids You always ran through my mind behind my eyelids The distance between us never weakened our love Spending time with you, it’s all that I dreamed of Making promises of forever, our feelings would never fade But on that cold December day, everything changed They tried everything, but it was to no avail I was gone before you could even exhale They knocked on your door and told you the news You refused to believe it, how could I be gone so soon? Years pass by, and you slowly begin to heal But at night you have nightmares that feel too real Reaching for me to find her instead You never felt rested in that cursed bed You never stop visiting me, where I live underground I see you going home with her, but I can’t make a sound It breaks my heart that I can’t be there But I really want you to be happy, I swear They say love lasts until the day you die But they never knew the love between you and I I can’t physically be with you, and you’ve moved on But my heart is with you, I’m never really gone
My boyfriend and I had a conversation about what would happen if I died and although it made me really sad, it gave me motivation to write this.
