Fire and Tears

I walk in and see how much he gave up

So I could live a happy life
Tears threaten to run down my cheeks
But I will not let him see me cry

I watch his eyes light up when he sees me
They always did light up with such a brilliant shine
That only I could inspire
I was the match that ignited a fierce fire

But now I face him for the last time
I take his hands in mine
And I suddenly lose the battle with my emotions
As the tears run down my cheeks

My voice is barely a whisper
When I tell him how much I will miss him
And I thank him for all he did for me
As I turn to leave I speak from my heart when I say Good Bye Erik. My
angel with an imperfect face.

I know the next time I see him
He will be gone
And it pains me to think of him that way
But I will keep my promise and fulfill his dying wish
