After the years have passed us by,
Longing for more for time as we try,
Fewer days that we can spend together,
Discovering our love is denied forever,
Reflecting back to when our love did begin,
Wishing you could fight this battle and win,
You had to stay positive, you could only try,
You didn't show any fear, you didn't even cry,
Sat here beside you I had to appear strong,
Knowing every second without is too long,
You’re slowly slipping away from me lying
in that bed,
The final words you gasped to me I remember you said,

"I'm not leaving you, I'm right here by your side,
Live life to the fullest, don’t stay inside and hide,
I will never leave you, believe me don’t you see,
Because I'm in your heart and forever that will be."
