I've been sitting here,
for what feels like days,
but only a few hours,
have wasted away.
The doctors said,
you would be okay,
but that doesn't mean ****,
we're back here again.
I never thought I,
would get that call in the night,
saying you were here,
fighting for your life.
But I knew you weren't,
fighting at all,
because I think this is,
our third trip this fall.
I don't want to see,
you have to leave,
but it's best for you,
and for your family.
I'll visit everyday,
until you come home,
and when you do,
it'll be forever, I hope.
Oh how I wish,
you'd rise from that bed,
and say everything,
felt happy in your head.
But since that is not,
the case here tonight,
I'll sit by this bed,
and hold your hand tight.
