Head heavy on his heart
He began to go on his path
Just buried his love
Below kgs & kgs of mud

So fast, so quick,
She passed away in her sleep.
No time to say goodbye,
No time to say thank you,
Or any wish of the last minute!

He could not just believe
She was around everywhere
In his house, in the garden,
Her scent still lingered in the shower.

How cruel life was,
Just took away his half
If it so needed
Why not him instead

With time he knew,
The grief, the pain
Would all be gone.
Left inside instead
Would be the love alone?

Counting on his days afterwards
Recalling memories of the year spent
And the laughter in her eyes

He knew one day
He would go too
Leaving something behind
In the hearts of those who loved him
The days of happy songs
And the spirit of him
In every heart.
