<\/a>The day the earth stopped spinning on its axis for that millisecond<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe day I felt your heart stop as if it were my own<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day a part of my soul left and was taken up with yours<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I heard code blue<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I jumped up, because I knew<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt my adrenaline overtake while others kept talking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt you leaving; didn\u2019t they feel that<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You were there the moment I came into this world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was there the moment you left<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ICU was locked<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurses said no one could come in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The door was going to shut<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ran in behind them anyway<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew there was no where else I could be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew I had to be strong<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew I had to be there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew this was the end of my life as it had been<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this day one year ago, I saw the image of my hero, my protector, my best friend of 37 \u00bd years leaving me, leaving this earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this day one year ago, I dropped to my knees and cried out for you not to go but I could feel you leaving<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew you couldn\u2019t stay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t want to know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t want to accept<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew you had to leave that day, that hour, that morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t want to say goodbye<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t know such pain existed so I cried<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cried out to Yahweh<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cried, pleading as I wept<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this day one year ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like it\u2019s been a thousand years<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like it\u2019s been only minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like I will never find myself again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels like a nightmare that I will awake from<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this day one year ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My life forever changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My world forever dimmed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My heart forever broke<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will see you again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will hear your laugh again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will hear your strong and operatic voice again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will continue to make you proud while I am here<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will find a new way to live<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will be everything you raised me to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will carry you close to me this day and each I have left<\/p>\n\n\n\n
