I saw you in my room last night
You were sitting on the edge of my bed
Stroking my hair
You kept telling me how beautiful I looked
For a minute it was as if you never passed away
I could see in your eyes that you were worried about me
I haven't been well since I laid you to rest
Seeing you in your coffin
touching your hands that once held mine so tightly
as we walked the strip in Las Vegas
Do you remember that day?
It was a spur of the moment thing
We just got into the car and drove
We held onto each other so tightly
as we walked looking at everything Vegas had to offer
That was the night we got married
It was so out of the blue but I knew when you proposed to me
that I was making the right choice by saying yes
Everyone thought that we were crazy
Maybe we were
But I have never been so crazy about another human being before
Being with you was like heaven on earth
You were romantic
You were kind
You were wonderful to me
Then you died
In the blink of an eye it was all over
One hit by a drunk driver and you were gone
I was left with more than a broken arm and a couple of stitches
I was left with a shattered heart
I was left with guilt for surviving
I was left with depression because I ached for you
I was left with fear because I forgot how to live without you
I cried so hard when I woke up in that hospital room
I called out your name but you didn't answer
I felt lost
I felt incomplete
I reached for you in my dreams but you weren't there
When your Mother told me that you had passed
my heart ached so badly that I went into cardiac arrest
I hoped to be with you
but the Lord wouldn't take me

It has been three months since that accident
I have lost weight because I can't eat
I hurt from lying in bed all day because I have no energy to do anything
I know you're angry at me
This isn't who I am
To dwell on pain and let life pass me by
That was never us
We lived
We lived for the moments that people dreamed about
We made love under the stars
We kissed in thunderstorms
our hearts collided and time froze still just for us
That's all over now
As I watch you on the edge of my bed
I want so badly to hold you
I want to be in your arms
I want to feel safe again
You won't hold me
You want me to let you go
You want me to be happy
You tell me we will be together again
as you kiss my forehead
I watch you go to heaven
as an angel holds me and lets me cry into her chest
