That day has come and gone
but the words are still there
I can still hear his pain
and his sympathetic sighs
as he told me she had cancer
I didn't sign those papers
I couldn't bring myself to do it
he said she couldn't make it
without me there by her side
he's called many times
since that painful day
we've discussed treatment
and we've discussed death
he said he'll always be there
because I'll need the support
I thanked him for everything
and asked him to keep me informed
he said he would
and we said goodbye
I wasn't ready for the news
and Im not ready for the pain
but I am no longer a child
It's time to face the truth.
