A Lifetime Shared

It wasn't supposed to end this way
He was always the strong one.
She never wanted to carry on, or live out life without him.
He never got to say goodbye,
Though he could feel her tears.
His hand wouldn't move to touch her cheek and he couldn't calm her fears.

We won't be parted very long,
You'll keep me in your heart.
And I'll be the first one waiting there,
To take you in my arms
And I'll leave you never more.

She new that the end was drawing near,
It was only a matter of time.
A lifetime shared slowly slipped apart as he left her here behind.
At night she can feel him lying there,
He seems to call her name,
And each new dawn brings a lonely day, and it's hard to stop the pain.

We won't be parted very long,
I'll keep you in my heart,
And you'll be the first one waiting there,
And you'll take me in your arms,
And I'll leave you never more.

It wasn't supposed to end this way,
Why couldn't she have gone too?
Who would be there now to touch her face, or to whisper, "I love you?"
She's finally stopped listening for the door,
She sets the table for one,
And prays each night as she goes to bed she won't see the morning sun.

We won't be parted very long,
You'll keep me in your heart.
And I'll be the first one waiting there,
To take you in my arms
And I'll leave you never more.
