Three words...I love you

Today I woke
with a smile on my face
I came into your room to see
sad looks all over the place

you were lying there
motionless as can be
your eyes closed shut
never again would you see

crying beside your bedside I was
wondering why it had to be
why did it have to come to this
so unexpectedly

I was very angry
angry as can be
all I ever thought about was
why did God do this to me

I fought to keep you here
but you had already gone
I cried for you that day
on and on and on

today I learned a lesson
before I hadn’t a clue
life is shorter than we think
and that my friend is true

go to someone now
make this saying true
all I have to say for this
is I love you

If you do this now
whatever shall tomorrow come
yesterday you said I love you
now your work is done
