The Last Goodbye

We were heading from home, having a blast
We didn’t know that moment was going to be our the last
We were the perfect couple, my baby and me
We were driving in the dark, the car we didn’t see

When we saw it, it was far too late
I instantly turned right and stamped on the brakes
The car hit another and we skidded off the road
Our car flipped over…one, two, three, four…

I don’t even remember the car stopping
I remember waking up, feeling like a huge mountain
I looked over, and beside me was my baby bleeding
I took one look and began weeping 

I knew he couldn’t make it 
I knew he was going to die
I couldn’t do nothing else but cry

My baby turned his head, and in his eyes I saw the pain
At that moment I knew this was no game
I took his head and put it in my lap
He told me all he wanted was to take a long, long nap

I told him he couldn’t, weeping all the while
He shook his head and gave me that wonderful smile
He said to me “be strong, I’ll love you forever”
I told him “You shouldn’t give up, Never” 

He closed his eyes and told me he will always be at my side
He then shook his head and told me not to cry
He told me to give him one last kiss
I leaned down and granted him his one wish

Before I sat back up I heard him whisper “Forever” 

At that moment, my baby became still as stone
I started crying thinking “this is so wrong” 
My baby was my life, and now he’s gone

I think of him all the time, trying not to cry 
But most of all, I’ll always remember our last goodbye
