It was but a moment
It had to be...
I saw you and you saw me... I tried to speak
No words came,
Then you were gone
But yet etched on my brain.

Don't know what it was all about,
The fight, the quarrel,
I think I heard the shout...
But didn't even turn around
As I let you walk out.

I felt you leave, rather than see
And when the cold started seeping through
Me
I snuggled more into my coat of pride
Bitter words and turmoil inside

Then a bell from far away
Brought me
Back to today
I let it ring ding a ling
Didn't care for anything.

Later that night
Flashing lights, like a magnet drew me from bed
And with words that sounded cold
They said to me You're dead.

I couldn't scream...
I couldn't speak
The coat of pride that felt like fleece
Now feels like a threadbare sheet.

It is now four years since that night
But now it's time to say goodbye...
Step away from the past, face the future
With victory's torch burning bright I say to you
my love...
Goodbye.
