The Date That Never Came

Two weeks ago
I came to see you.
But two weeks ago

I didn't have a clue.

You'd leave me on earth
Without saying goodbye.
The oxygen told me
something wasn't right.

No food no drinks
just a dose of morphine
you took to ease your pain.
So helpless and vein.

At that moment,
I would've given my life
to switch places with yours,
so you could be alright.

But powerless I sat
beside you that day.
And hopeful I was
that you'd be okay.


Inside I burned,
Inside I screamed,

Inside I cried, but
Inside I dreamed.

That in two weeks time
you'd be fine
and we'd be going
out to dine.

Just like we planned,
a date for dessert
After doctors finished
internal revert.

Two weeks later,
it was going good.
Doctor was on top
Everything was understood.

But just as I feared,
something wasn't right.
As the oxygen said,
the end may be in sight.


I've never had
a happy ending.
This is not an exception,
unfortunately.

Your time had come
to say goodbye,
to leave this earth,
to be alright.

I lost you that day,
and I don't know why.
But I do know
you're up in the sky.

With the rainbows,
and the clouds.
where everythings better,
with everything sound.

A date that never came
for you and me.
But a date that forever,
will be in my dreams.

In loving memory of someone special.

Love may not be Forever, but Smiles Are

Smile to me
I'll smile back.
Because thats all I can do.

People come
and people go
thats just the life we go through.

I tell it short
and I tell it sweet.
So maybe you'll listen.

It's no big secret
I like you
and the way your eyes glisten.

I hope you know
I'm no different
than the next guy.

I'm here for a second
and then I'm gone.
I'll have to say good bye.

Not now, but soon this time will come.
and while I'm still here,
I hope we have fun.

I hope you know
that I won't forget.
any of this, not ever, not here.

But for your own good,
I need to spare you the heartbreak
and spare you the tears.

You're way too good for that.
I can't stand to be the one
that holds on tight, then breaks your heart.

I can't ever watch you,
because of me,
fall apart.

I can't lead you on
for something I can't
forever hold on to.

So, smile at me
and I'll smile back,
because that's really all
I can do.
