Only You Can Save You

11 years of pushing back the tears 
11 years of shutting myself away in my room
Of drinking my pain away on this day 
I almost made my own tomb
After I discovered the sad truth 
That life is unfair, and only You can save you 

 
Im glad Ive finally I've come to the place 
Where the fact that He died
Does not ruin my whole week or day
Now I decide to talk a walk by the lake 
And remember a Man I once knew 


Now I happily recall the short life that He lived 
And the people He affected deeply 
For we were so much alike 
And it was in His  nature to give 
My lovely rescue walks me halfway down the road
She purrs and chirps a sweet song 
As my thoughts before me are almost projected 


A very handsome man who had 32 years of life 
But raised his 2 brothers and helped many
He was so loving, at 23 I almost felt like a wife
I am truly happy that I chose him and 
He chose me 
Although He was poor,
He was so generous with any who needed support and companionship
For me, Forever running ahead to open the door 
And opened his heart always  to Others
 

I remember the letters addressed to me
With His last name, as people thought we were married 
Arriving to the house we Once lived in together
It's just  a pleasant memory now
But some things can't and won't last Forever 
Even if at the time we want them to 
Because life has other bigger plans for you


He is something I could never and will never  forget 
And once told me, in a dream, 
That Now He rests and looks on happily 
With other members of his family 
And that, of me, He is truly proud 
So I continue my peaceful walk by the lake 
Now that I feel in my heart He's at Peace 
It almost feels as though I'm walking 
On the clouds
