just last week your eyes still had that sparkle
as you were full of laughter
and full of grins
you said our special i love you
and remembered the words
once more for me
despite your memory
slowly fading
as you asked me to sing
one more song
but today
you couldn't speak
your eyes stayed shut
and breathes were unsteady
i'd like to think
as i read my letter
you heard my every word
and as you opened your tired eyes
for the first time tonight
and stared back at me
as i said i love you
i knew
you knew me too
