That fateful day...

sadness that flows deep inside me
the yearning for our memories too
for the loss of a distant future
that will no longer be spent with you

this disease that has taken hold
that`s eating away at your core
depriving us of our happiness
as you slip slowly away from me more

you`re weaker and weaker each day
as it strips you of all your strength
I see.. but a shell of the man I loved
this fight stretched to its full length

so please remember that I cared
and stayed by your side all the way
we had to make the most of our time
as if for us...it was our last day!

for memories are all I have now
my heart will never again be whole
the day you passed on....is engraved
so deeply within my sad soul
