Who Said You Could Die?

Who said you could die?
I know it wasn’t I,
In my heart you are always alive.
As I wake up each day
I turn to you and  say
‘that’s another night that I survive.

Who said  you could die?
I keep thinking that I
have misheard what the others have said.
In my mind you’re still here
strange, but I feel you near,
there’s no way that you ever are dead!

Who said you could die?
Leave without a goodbye and
abandon me here on my own.
In a world where we two
stuck together like glue,
now I find I’m afraid and alone .

Who said you could die?
Oh my love wasn’t I..
Left to me you would be by my side.
With no word, you moved on
I can’t face that you’re gone
and can’t wipe all the tears that I’ve cried.

Dedicated to my best friend Ali  who tragically and  very suddenly lost her husband Gary
