Helpless

I'm helpless when it comes to that day,
and the memories and thoughts it brings.
I remember the tears and the heartbreak,
I remember perfectly details about everything.

I was in bed when the phone rang,
then the person on the other end spoke.
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry. There has been an accident."
The tears started flowing and I began to choke.

I ignored the speed limits on the way to the hospital,
for you were the only thing I could think of.
Your mom walked me to your room,
where you were bound to go above.

Though I knew you were suffering,
you laid there and looked at peace.
I'm still lost without you in my life,
because since then you've been deceased.

I stayed by your side until the morning light,
and I was there for the whole day, too.
Later that night you lost your life,
and even today I'm still crazy about you.

I have fallen in love again, though,
and I know you would be okay with it.
You always said everything would be fine,
if the fire in my eyes had been lit.

You changed my life and only for the better,
and I owe you so much for being everything for me.
I know you are in a better place now,
and I hope that one day, your eyes I will get to see.
