I will never forget the first time I saw you

I will never forget the first day we met

I will never forget the first time I held you

I will never forget our first day apart

Our love was the simplest of things

Our love was the most wonderful dream

Our love never faltered nor failed

Our love saved us from the darkest parts of ourselves

Like all couples, we had our moments of strife

Like all couples, we had to swallow our pride

Like all couples, we had to see with eyes unclouded

Like all couples who succeed, we were stronger for it

You were my friend and I was yours, too

You were my friend the more I knew you

You were my friend when all others had gone

You were my friend when I really needed one

Funny, how life is such a fragile thing

Funny, how much I had taken you for granted

Funny, how little of what I really wanted to say had been said

Funny, how short now all that time together feels to me now

I wish I had thought to be a better person for you

I wish I had an idea of what would happen if I lost you

I wish I had the slightest idea of why you had to leave me

I wish it was me instead of you
