You can close your eyes.

dianejean57 1957 (Swansea, MA)



You can close your eyes.

I know the time we had was short. But you taught me what's right and what's wrong. And how to read and write, and more importantly, how to be nice. So hold on to me tight and close your eyes; I will never leave your side. I know your time is short, but the path you must take is long, so take my hand and help me understand. What we once had, no one can take away, and I won't let them anyway. I won't cry and mourn after you're gone. There will be one rose with one less thorn. So close your eyes, and I will be forever by your side. Until the stars fall from the sky, you'll always be mine.
