Hard Memories

When your pulse stopped
To my knees I dropped
Your hands grew cold
But I needed them to hold
I watched your cheeks lose their glow
Since your blood wouldn't flow
Your eyes just stared
Never more had I cared
I didn't want you to leave
I just wanted you to breath
I couldn't let you go
I wouldn't let it be so
But your soul flew away
After I begged it to stay
And I cried until dawn
Because I couldn't move on
Now years have past
They have gone so fast
I come back now to visit you
Although it's hard for me to do
At your grave I lay the flowers down
Giving you your well deserved crown
I have started to see
That you are finally free
My heart has started to mend
But the life you have in me will never end
