you were like a shooting star
so beautiful, so bright
here for not long enough
before you slipped into the night
your very memory is precious now
your touch short lived and sweet
I know you're not hurting now
but I feel incomplete.
the house feels empty now
my arms long to hold you again
If I'd have known that you'd be gone
our last embrace would never end
I hope you know how loved you are
and how glad I was every day
I was so glad to see you
regardless of how long I'd been away.
I'll see you again one day
just beyond heaven's gate
and then we'll never be parted
til then, we'll just have to wait.
