I've cried a bucket of tears
I knew this day will come
If I could do something more, I would
The longer you stay, the happier I would.

A trip to where you and I first met
If you'd eat, I'll give all your favorite treats
A final car ride, a walk at the beach
If there is anything more, I'll give you all that you need.

I wish the world would stop and this day would not come
I wish you know how much you'd be missed
My heart is aching as the clock continues to tick
I wish I could make you feel better, I wish you were not sick.

As I cuddled you for one last time
You were surrounded by family, your toys and all that was yours
You looked at me, as if you knew
"You're the best, thank you, I love you but it's time to go".

The clock stopped the minute you died
You took a piece of my heart, it will always be void
The emptiness has settled in, and when I felt your heart not beating
I cried like a baby, I was shaking.

One last kiss, I said goodbye
I am torn, but your suffering and pain is gone now
One last kiss, no this is not the final goodbye, we will see each other again
I have your memories in my heart and mind.
