I Remember

  I remember saying    "oh please don't go"   I remember the look on his face   I remember feeling at a loss       for words that could not be replaced.   Lying in a hospital bed      Tubes      Wires   What was it the doctors say?   I wasn't really listening   Through sobs   I thought I heard you say goodbye   Silently,    And in your own way,   The way you always did things   I remember the funeral home   The smell of flowers blooming with life   How ironic, I thought      That they live so free in such a place   I remember getting in the car       big black car       just for us they said       as if we were special   Why didn't we feel like it then?   Why did it feel like our lives had fallen apart?       (because they had)   I remember the cemetary     such a cold and lonely place   I thought   Not where you belong   But there was no choice   Just to make it through the day took all we had      I remember to this day   all the little details   of everything we ever did.    How we fought so galaintly   To make our lives so grand   And I remember    In one instant   How everything was swept away      Taken away from us as if the wind picked it up   And blew it out to sea.
