How Could I Have Known
By: Joi Maree Flowers
How could I have known
That when this morning to you I said goodbye
That it would truly be
For the last time
No more lullaby's
No more kisses goodnight
No more stories to tell
To send you into that slumber land of night
Only empty arms
And pools of tears
A heart that aches
And tomorrow's fears
Unanswered responses
Of those questions of why
If only it could be different
If only I could rewind time
No tomorrow will ever be the same
And life without you will always be my deepest pain
"If had not I...you would be still here"
Will forever be my reasoning for you to have lived
But how could I have known
What feeling could I have felt
That today
Someone would take away your last breath
And how could I have known
That when you said goodbye
That those words from you would be said to me
For the last time
This is truly beautiful....
