Then I met you
As I drew my last breath, your shaking and silent screams slowly started to die down
It's strange, isn't it?
Life and death
In this very moment
Someone's heart is fluttering from a hello
And someone is aching from a goodbye
I rose high into the sky and watched you cry
But I knew that was not my last goodbye
As you started to think of me less, the weather got cold and dry
But it still warmed my empty heart to see you gleeful
Nothing made me feel more alive our watching our story happen again in slow motion
No matter went you couldn't help but dive into love
It's who you are and what you do
I understand that the love you once had for me wasn't fading
But now your hand was held sacred by a person who could help you heal
I watched my other half become whole again with another
I couldn't help to wish it was me
But although I wish it were us at that alter
I smiled in relief from the chair you left empty, for me
I must understand that my love for you has not left this world
It is still inside your heart my dear
Your hand met your other new lover
And I knew it just as good as ours once was
You always said our daughter would have my mother's name
However, when she was born I saw her name was mine
As I leave for my final time, I heard you say "I love you"
That delicate phrase brought a new meaning
No matter how tragic our story ended
Between our gleaming hello and screaming goodbye
There was happiness
And there was love
The love you once had for me wasn't fading away
But it is now held sacred by a person that could help you heal
All beginnings have an end
I'm just glad yours was a good ending
but in another life or another universe
I know I'll find you again. I always will.
Goodbye my love
