Sorrow filled my heart
As mourners came,
I tried to chase them away,
In denial that death has finally called you.
I was not ready to let go of your hand,
Already pictured our future together
Where you would walk me down the aisle
And give me away to the man I love.
But the grave was too eager to have you;
It's grimy hands took you away from me.
But the memories still remain,
Your loving words still echo in my mind.
My heart took so long to heal from you;
It has taken years for me to let you go.
Finally the time has come for us to part ways
So goodbye my first love, I hope we meet again.
