We met that morning,

That summer day,

The first day of September,

2008.

I said hi,

 You were shy,

But then I gave you a smile,

And you returned it back to me,

I fell for you, instantly.

It wasn't love, I knew it,

 For I was still young,

But now I am older,

You're still my heart's song.

Everyday I see you,

They all know we're in love,

They see it all,

In our eyes,

In our hugs,

They see the way you look at me,

With little hearts in your eyes,

And when I look at you, I'm frozen,

Hypnotized.

Why did I do it?

What have I done?

What was my motivation to give up, my love?

Why did we do that?

How can this be?

Baby, the word us just means

You and me.

Can we look this over?

Can we bear through the storm?

Can we stick together in times of war?

So many feelings,

It's hard to decide,

And I always wonder,

Will it all be alright?

You didn't have to go, 

And risk your life for me.

And when death came to take you,

You told me to believe.

I gently called your name,

As you fell down to the floor,

And now that you're gone,

I've been slammed against life's door.

And I can tell them all, 

How much you mean to me,

Jake, 

I'm sorry to have to wait to see you,

Till death comes for me.
