Every time, it came to the wire,
and it was time to lay
our cards on the table,
and show our hands,
I thought you would fold.
And I mentally prepared
to watch you walk away,
and face my pain and tears.
But you fooled me every time,
til the last.
When I thought for sure
that you would be gone,
you surprised me every time,
and took hold of my hand,
and stood by my side, til now.
I can't believe you are gone,
and that you could walk away,
and I can't believe
this has happened
to we,
in this bad dream,
I can't wake from,
try as I might.
