- Remember when we did agree that we would never part,We grew together you and me we both shared the same heart,As if we were a little plant two blooms formed from one bud,We both reached out with little arms to grasp the world about,What happy days I spent with you in both our company,We were a pair just you and me, and never past a day lonely,And if I ever had a fear I always knew that you were near.But then one day I closed my eyes, and someone took me from your side.It was so dark I could not see but felt a blade had cut through me.And then I drifted up to see it was no longer you and me.For they have cut me from your side I now feel empty from inside. |
