If I could relive our lost days of time,
We would have said 'I Do' at your first request because,
Our love needed no test.
I would not have laughed and danced away
Those ten long years, knowing you loved me without a doubt
And would wait forever, in a promise from your heart, you
Would shout it to the world, I was your girl!
The years passed, we were having fun, I asked you to be patient,
You promised not to run.
'I won't ask you again! ' you finally said, 'I'm going away! '
'Where are you going? ', I laughed and laughed!
'Here we go again! ' I told mama later that day.
Stop stringing him along, mama said, you'd better use your head!
Friends and family laughed when we finally said our vows
That August day...Laughter and happy tears and a toast to long
Happy years to come! United forever We teased, we had only just begun!
The year was magic...we loved each other beyond measure.
Then,
A pain in your 'gut' you complained...
Cancer the doctor said after the first test...
The rest was pure madness!
He has 7 weeks to live, was the doctor's reply, he is going to die!
You fought the odds and lived 7 months in my loving care,
Then you were gone from here...ten years lost, married for a year.
With your last heart beat you whispered my name,
I will never be the same.
Loving you still!
