The night was young and so was our love
Nothing stood in our way
We were so anxious to leave our past behind
We dreamed about it every day
Hand in hand we would run so far
Trying to leave this place and time
Searching for answers to our unfulfilled lives
Seeing things we never could because we were blind
We were so limited to what we could do
Our hearts yearned for more each day
We knew that somehow we had to escape
Together we would find a way
We left our lives to fate
We put out hearts in each other's hands
We knew that it had to be that way
Because no one would ever understand
All of the pain and sorrow
That we went through each day
All of the hurt and lies
That would always come our way
It wasn't something that we wanted to do
We never wanted it to be that way
It was just so heartbreaking for me to see her cry
I always promised her that I would take her away
I promised her a life filled with happiness and love
And all the things that she needed to survive
I promised her that I would always be there for her
And I'll keep that promise until the day that I die
I love her more than anything
She means the world to me
Words could never describe all that I feel for her
She is my destiny
And with every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
I will be by her side forevermore
Never allowing her heart to break
And if I should ever falter
I pray that she will understand
For my heart is filled with so much love
So much more than I had ever planned
Sometimes we would run for what seemed like forever
Never looking back at what we left behind
We always looked to the future and not the past
Trying to find some peace of mind
We knew that we could never return home
We could never be accepted back
For all of the things that we went through
Just threw our lives off track
We fought for our rights and freedom
We inspired each other with our hearts
We made a vow to always be together
And that nothing would ever keep us apart
We were banished by our families
And when I found this to be true
It was then that my heart rejoiced
I could finally do what I wanted to do
I went over to her and asked her
To spend the rest of her life with me
I got down on one knee
And I asked her to marry me
She happily obliged and I knew
That my life would never be the same
We could finally settle down together
And all of our happiness would forever remain
We planned our wedding for the very next year
We picked out my tuxedo and her dress
We wanted everything to be perfect
For our past lives were always a mess
We spent every day together
Walking side by side
We would smile and laugh together
And kiss away the tears that we cried
She was the kind of girl you could never yell at
She was so sweet and full of life
I just couldn't wait to walk down the aisle with her
I couldn't wait for us to be husband and wife
Then one day I got a call from a friend
And as I listened to him I began to cry
The woman that I loved had been killed in an accident
And all I could do was cry out "WHY?"
My heart broke into pieces
My whole world just fell apart
I knew that I could never move on
Without her next to my heart
I cry each and every day
Hoping to hear her voice and feel her touch
There's no escaping this madness inside
I just miss her so very much
She still lives in my heart
She lives on in my dreams
Her voice still echoes throughout my mind
Always cutting me at the seams
She'll always be my greatest friend
Even though I know we're worlds apart
I don't know if I'll ever get over her
She's still there like she was from the start
She's with me in my darkest hours
I see her when I sleep
She'll always be my guardian angel
Her memory I will always keep
Until the day that we reunite
In Heaven she will always be
Looking out for me wherever I am
Inspiring and guiding me
Sometimes I wish that it were me and not her
I wish that I could somehow be with her tonight
I wish that she would come and hold me
And tell me that everything will be all right
No matter where I am each day
No matter what I do or say
I'll never get over losing her
I wish that it had never ended that way
