"You never said I'm leaving, you never said good-bye, you were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. A million times, I'll need you; a million times I'll cry, if love alone could save you, you would never have to die. In life I've loved you dearly, in death I love you still, in my heart you hold a place that no one will ever fill. It breaks my heart to lose you, but you haven't gone alone; part of me went with you on this day God took you home."
