Fix You

As i watched the casket lowered into the ground, i felt a tear stream down my face.

He was the only person there for me growing up, he was everything.

I still didn't move the engagement ring from my finger; vowing to myself it would be there forever, until something else replaced it.

"and now a song from the beautiful Evelyn Walker to commemorate her fiances tragic death." the preacher announced glumly.

Walking up to the podium in front of the burial ground, i grabbed my acoustic guitar sitting under the tree.

I wiped my face, and cleared my throat, letting all my emotions pour out into the song.

I'd be singing our song, little did we know how true it was.

"Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark"

By the end of the song, tears were streaming down my face. Every lyric meant the world to us.

I'd never forget those eyes, never forget his laugh, never forget the way his eyes sparkled when we would go to the park.

He took care of me;

No one else did.
