She stood standing in the hallway, lined with the moments of their lives together. Pictures of them together, family gatherings, vacations, holidays, and candid moments they shared throughout their years. She took her time, drawing her finger over their moments, lingering on some images longer than others as she approached everyone who gathered at their home to say their goodbyes.
It's supposed to hurt, it's a broken heart
But to movin' on is the hardest part
It comes in waves, the letting go
But the memory fades, everybody knows
Everybody knows
"I'm not a person of faith, but I am a person of fate. For me, my life was so out of balance until I met you. My life was just a series of struggles, road blocks, and darkness. But the moment our souls were reunited, my life seemed to be righting itself. This woman before you, is and will always be my everything. From the way our bodies fit together, to the way we each just knew what the other needed. Her laugh was my favorite sound, and her hugs could cure anything. She pushed me to be better, strive for better, and want better. Our life together wasn't the fairytale you grow up on, but it was my fairytale."
What if I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye?
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
"Most people say that if I only knew that day was our last together, I would have done this or said that, but we lived our lives knowing that any day we received was a gift from the fates and we never wasted a chance to show just how much we meant to each other. I think back to that day, and the only thing I would have done would be to have held you just a little longer to make our soul connection be a bit stronger, brighter in hopes that the pain I feel now wouldn't be as intense."
Maybe months go by, maybe years from now
And I meet someone and it's workin' out
Every now and then, she can see right through
'Cause when I look at her
Yeah, all I see is you
Standing at their lake house, looking at the tree that was born from her loss "I know you said I should love again, I know we promised each other we wouldn't close ourselves off, we would continue to live, but I can't. My heart has broken every day since you left me. And the ache my soul feels is so deep that the only reprieve I experience is when I allow my mind to drift to when I will join you."
I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
What if I gave you (what if I gave you) everything I got?
What if your love was my one and only shot?
What if I end up with nothing to compare it to
What if I never get over? Oh, if I never get over
What if I never get over you?
She looks over at her soulmate, taking the offered hand "when I woke up this morning, it was the first day that my heart didn't ache for you." They share a passionate kiss. "I'm sorry my love, I couldn't wait any longer to have you with me."
