Loss

She just couldn't, 

She couldn't literally continue

Her whole life breaking down,

she’s had to build her whole life back up

And it's happened in such a painful,

but in such an incredible way 

that she could never have imagined, 

He has given her 

this incredible gift of her new life

 

But she wishes that he was with her 

 

He got the call, it happened

He was working from home

He put the phone down and

continued working. 

The weekend rolled on,

he didn't tell anybody

Still a year later, he doesn’t understand 

what he was going through on the day 

A lot of question marks

 

He wishes that he was with her
