The Break of Dawn
When dawn broke
I knew that you were gone.
The sheets between us were cold
The world completely silent.
That last embrace
Like hugging your heart goodbye
Lingers on my soul.
Its echo a reminder of what once was.
If only I had known.
I'd hug you a little tighter,
I'd kiss you a moment longer,
And just maybe you wouldn't have let go.
