Just Believe

Oh, the day when I would first gaze at you -- oh, how you'd turn my head.

The first I laid my eyes on you, my heart was filled with dread.

I knew it was the best day of my life and yet the very worst.

Someday my hellos would be goodbyes, only sorrow, never mirth.

I'd blink and you would turn to go. It's just as it should be.

But, you would feel like it was time. For me, eternity.

Time is cruel. It passes slow, just when you most need haste.

And when you wish it would crawl and dawdle, it quickens up the pace.

I knew all of this that very first day. I knew someday you'd be eighteen.

I knew that day would come too fast. And, I'd be left to grieve. 

The tears fell softly, even then, as I vowed to treasure the minutes.

I could not know then, you would never leave. My heart and soul: you're in it. 

I did not know that was the plan - to save me from my grief.

There is no end to love, my dear. No end. 

Just believe.
