One Dark Night

Why couldn't I walk?
I stumbled back and forth
I couldn't even talk
Like now
You walked through the door
And you smiled at me
I had to find a seat
Somehow
You talked with a pleasant voice
You walked with such grace
I couldn't even face
You then, like now
Your eyes were of a calm sea
And I couldn't believe
When you sat down beside me
And I couldn't believe the name
You said
We talked a little while
You offered me a dance
You gave me a smile
Again
You gave me your number
And this is the way we went
Through many summers

But one dark night
I got a phone call
And this is when my life
Stopped
I quickly grabbed my keys
And drove to the spot
I fell to my knees
When I saw you
Lying on the grass
Your heartbeat had passed
I looked into your eyes
That were the color of the skies
And sea
I tried not to cry
As I huddled beside
Your lifeless body
But I couldn't help myself
I burst into tears
Because all of my fears
Had come true
I try not to think
Of the fun we could have had
Tomorrow
I gently held your hand
And slipped on the ring
I bought
I thought of the day
The drunken man would pay
My life turned that day
In a mysterious way
Now I walk dead inside
With all my memories
Of you
What I am missing most
Is us
