• Slowly the pages turn, turn in my book of life.
    Troubles linger on in this time of strife.
    Facing my fears of being alone,I approach the coffin of the only love I've known.
    There he lie, in the white sheets as the others say good-bye.
    No, I cannot mutter that small phrase, I cannot accept the truth, I am in a daze.

    Time passes faster than before, and soon the time to say good-bye will be no more.
    This pain I feel deep inside my heart, please don't tell me that its ripping me apart.
    I heard a whisper that touched deep inside of me, a hidden chapter that even I didn't see.
    It meant that you were still a part of my story, a chapter all its own in eternal glory.
    I knew you would keep your vow, even if I could not see you now.

    I faced my fears, and let go of those hidden tears.
    Walking up was only half the of the way, speaking those final words was the price to pay.
    When I reached you, I knew what I had to do.
    The words formed "good-bye", and before I left I started to cry.

    Knowing full well of my story's end, I knew for sure my heart would slowly mend.
    This time of grief, was only brief.
    If only I had more time, I'd tell you all that I've left behind.
    Yet, the time has come for the final word, and then I can spread my wings just like a bird.
