I didn't want to

I can see grim faces
I can see teary eyes
All wishing for a miracle
All wanting to trade their lives

I had never seen so much love
I had never felt so much pain
The white corridors were filled with people
Each trying to console the other

I wanted them to know all would be OK
I wanted them to know I would make things right
I wanted them to know I would be there till the morn
Keeping them company all through the night

I didn’t want to hurt them so bad
I didn’t want to make them cry
I didn’t want to leave them behind
I really dint want to die…

I struggled to see them for the last time
I put on a fake smile
My heart didn’t want to let go
But life had other plans
The faces faded out
The voices seemed far
I knew it was time to move on
I knew it was time to go…
