Gift of a heart

I guess I thought you'd be here forever,
That we'd have all the time in the world,
To laugh together and cry together,
And just be a part of each other.

But I got it wrong and now you're gone,
How am I supposed to live without you?
My strength, my trust, my everything,
The other half that makes me whole.

Never again will I see your smile,
That touches your eyes and lights your face,
Or feel your hand holding mine tight,
Or feel your heartbeat beating within.

I won't be able to watch you sleep,
To hear the gentle rasp of your breath,
Or feel your warmth lying next to me,
That feeling of safety only you could give.

But if I had the chance for you to live,
Your heart beat again, inside another,
Would I grasp it with both hands,
And let them have a part of you forever?

To let someone live when you could not?
To let someone breathe all on their own?
To let someone feel like never before?
Even though you would be lost to me?

If it meant that somehow you would live on,
That something of you could blossom in them,
To give them some of your compassion and love,
How could I turn and walk away?

One of the hardest choices I'd ever make,
I cannot answer now and hope I never shall.
But how could I deny someone the chance
Of spending a little time with your heart?

Paul, you are so wonderful to me,
And I love you with all that I am,
I hope that that day never comes,
But I would give anything for you to live on.
