You said you loved me
Loved me for my personality
Loved me for every part of me
Loved me from the very start
Loved me 'cause I had a special place in your heart
Then you said you had to leave
Leave because you had to go away
Leave but I had to stay
Leave your family and friends behind
Leave but you'd soon return to my side
So I sat there ... waiting
Waiting for the time you'd come back to me
Waiting because you said we were meant to be
Waiting 'cause you promised you'd soon return
Waiting in the same spot until I learned
That you were gone
Gone were your spirit and your body too
Gone was every part of you
Gone 'cause you were buried underneath the ground
Gone 'cause you couldn't make one more sound
So I cried
Cried because I loved you so
Cried because I let you go
Cried because you had left
Cried because you were captured by death
Then I moved on
Moved on because it was all that I could do
Moved on so that I would get over you
Moved on even though I remembered our past
Moved on because your life didn't last
Soon enough I smiled
Smiled to honor your memory
Smiled 'cause of the good times you had with me
Smiled because that's what you would've wanted me to do
Smiled because I would always remember you
