I Never.... (poem)

I never knew it would be this hard to say good bye
I never dreamed it would end this way
Standing here beside your bed, still by your side
Wishing one more time to see the laughter in your eyes

I never knew how much I really loved you
I always thought I did, but somehow it wasn’t true
All the years we’ve been married my love
Never dreamed something like this, would be the end of us

Do I cry or do I scream?
How do I get you back with me?
Please, oh please tell me this is just a dream
Do I really have to choose to set you free?

I never dreamed of growing old without you
I never thought that I’d out live you
Tell me how do I go on from day to day?
Oh Lord I’m down on my knees to pray

I never gave losing you in the middle of a night a thought
I always thought I’d talk to you again tomorrow
So many, many things left to say
Now I’m standing here drowning in my tears of sorrow.

Do I cry or do I scream?
How do I get you back with me?
Please, oh please tell me this is just a dream
Do I really have to choose to set you free?

I’ll hold you forever in my heart
My mind will carry you always close to me
I’ve loved you and always will
That’s why I had to set you free

Do I cry or do I scream?
How do I get you back with me?
Please, oh please tell me this is just a dream
Did I really have to choose to set you free?

Love will set you free
Love will always set you free….
