The Final Breath

As the flight attendant made the accouncement that this plane is going down
I took one last look at him
Not knowing it be the last time I see him again
My feet froze to the ground
but in my mind 
I want to get up and run run run
but where where where
 I look up to the celling and look out the window for the last time
I turn and looked at him in his eyes and told him I love you
and if either one us don't make it 
don't you grieve 
don't you die
don't fall apart because I'am not near your side 
 I held his hand tight as we went down down down
I felt the loud crash as the plane hit the ocean floor
 I closed my eyes
 I felt my life fading away
  I blacked out
My hand slipped out of my partner hand
I try to gasp for air but nothing
 water filled my lungs
I knew this was it
My life flash in front of my face
 things you see before  you walked into the light
I was hoping  the hand of God would catch me and my man before the final breath 
But if it's time to go
Then it's time to go
