I know
It wasn't in all those plans
We made
And if
You could have you would  
Have stayed
So now
I'm left here on my own
All alone
Trying to
Find some way to fill my days
Carry on

Still find
That every day is an eternity
Of misery
And I
Know you would want me
To see
All those
Places we planned some day
To share
It's just
Way too hard to find any reason
To care

Until I'm
Pulled back into that last moment
We had
And you
Eyes locked in mine  don't look
So sad
You said
In that breathy whisper voice
To me
Just smile
And  I'll wait for you so we can Share eternity

But don't
Waste a moment of the time.
You're given
Because that
Is  no longer just your life
You're livin
And then
She smiled that smile I've known
So long
And then  
Smile in place her eyes close then
She's gone

These days
I wander around like in a maze
Totally lost
Still hear
In silence her laugh which I'd pay
Any cost
If it
Would never fade away from my
Memory
Then I
Heard her laugh like she stood  
Beside me

That ended with her breathy whisper.
From this point on every laugh you hear
Is a promise to you from me
So  you will always know  
That I am somewhere  near
Remember that...
Remember that... my dear...
My dear my dear my dear
