I saw the moment

When we professed our feelings for each other

Finally feeling free

To be in love

I saw the moment

When we celebrated surviving highschool

The four years may have been hell

But they're where I met you

I saw the moment

When we would video chat constantly

Being at separate colleges was hard

But we made it work

I saw the moment

When you popped the question

I love you

Those are the only words I can remember

I saw the moment

Our child first walked

She reminded me of myself

Walking straight to you

I saw the moment

She finally found a lover for life

When you walked her down the aisle

As I wiped tears from my eyes

I saw the moment

When we watched a movie

Just the two of us

Since the kids had moved out

I saw the moment

Our grandkids rushed into the house

On Christmas Eve

Eager to open presents

I saw the moment

Our children came to visit us

In our adjacent graves

For we wanted to be together

For eternity

Then I watched those moments in reverse

Until I came back to now

And I watched you leave the room

Without saying goodbye

And that's when I knew

Maybe those things will happen

But not with you
