When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today, while thinking of
the many things, we didn't get to say
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me
I know I'll miss you too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand, an angel came
and called my name and took me by
the hand and said my place was ready
in heaven far above. And that I'd
have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away a
tear fell from my eye, for all my life
I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much left to do
It seems almost impossible that I am
leaving you. I thought of all the
yesterdays, the good ones and the
bad and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just
even for a while, I'd say good-bye
and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this
could never be, for emptiness and
memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow, I
thought of you and when I did my heart
filled with sorrow. But when I walked
through heaven's gates, I felt so much
at home. When God looked down and
smiled at me, from his great throne,
He said: "This is eternity and all I've
promised, today your life on earth is past,
but here life starts anew. I promise
no tomorrow, but today will be the last.
And since each day's the same way
there's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, so trusting
and so true. Though there were times
you did some things you knew you
shouldn't do. But you have been
forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
and share your life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

A touching poem expressing undying love for the loved one. As I read and tried to picture myself as the persona...I can't help but to feel the sadness deep down inside my heart and without realising it tears rolled down my cheeks...
