As you kissed me goodnight,
I whispered “please be safe”
You walked out the door,
And to your truck,
But I don’t feel just right.
Baby don’t go just yet!
But you were already almost to
The end of the drive way.
I ran after you.
Harder and harder the rain comes down.
You noticed me,
But I noticed something you didn’t.
You didn’t see the other set of head-lights.
I have never heard tires screech that way,
Followed but the biggest flash of light,
I have ever seen.
As I put your head in my lap,
I feel the tears roll down my face.
You said “I love you baby“,
I said “I love you too“.
You responded with
“forever and ever?”
I nodded my head.
Bright red and blue flashing lights
Are coming closer and louder
I hold you tighter and tighter.
I will never let go!
I lost the love of my life that night!
