Silence to whisper to silence

We spent so many nights
just talking to each other
cemetery silence accompanied us
but never another

i knew you'd be leaving soon
i didn't want to say good bye just yet
sitting on a low wall underneath the moon
didn't know how close we'd get

waiting on those fatal words
but they never came
instead you grabbed me around the waist
and held me just the same

as any other night
that warm embrace came
you whispered to me
"i promise I'll love you just the same"

you said "carry on
i know even without me
you'll still stand strong"
but i fell can't you see?
