My Leah

Oh Leah

We all have that memory lane we hate to go down to

But for some reason we happen to miss the lane too

How hard is it to accept a loss?

Losing someone who to your life was more than a plus

Broken glasses, Shattered hopes

Cursed roads, Raggedy slopes

When the news hit me, migraines grew

Headaches every morning, with tears in my eyes too

Nightmare gripped me firmly every day

Wake me up from this dream, I cannot stay

Leah, Leaah, Leaaah, the only scream in my head

I grew pale, as pale as ghost rider doing The Stare

I actually met her at a dance recital

By accident, because the level of my dance was critical

We spoke for hours about the sweet and sour

At this point I wasn't in love, belt it shower

We exchanged numbers the 2nd time we met

I think that was when the game started, the flirt

We became so close like 5 and 6

We were there for each other through thin and thick

Then she did something that made me fall in love

She asked me a question, a question on love

What is Love and how do you know when it hit you?

I thought of this long enough, for a week too

I didn't talk to her to be sure of my feelings

Little did I know how bad things were going be

I have the answer, Leah, I do have the answer

I run to her house, to ask her to be mine

I see no one, absolute house of emptiness

The neighbour says she was rushed to the hospital

I flew with my heavy wings

Along the flight to rescue, I bought a claddagh ring

I got there and i saw another figure

Leah's hair was no longer there and now she was pale

Tears ran down my eyes, I knew what was wrong

For I have seen this scene in movies, not my song

I held her hands for hours, hunger never bothered me

At her bed side, songs I began I sing

She awakes and then she gives me this smile

I loved her more, over and over a mile

I hear the doctor say she had only three days to live

My heart broke, shattered, dismantled into a thousand pieces

Do you know the answer? she asked me with two days to live

I do Leah, I do, it hit me with You

I sing for her even more, with one day to live

She says I love you because you complete me,

My last wish is to do what i should have done long ago

She gathers energy, pushes her head and blows a french kiss

My first kiss, Her first kiss, not a hit and miss

Her parents are devastated and in pains

She flatlines, since then things have never been the same

I see her in my dream some months later, as pretty as ever

We talk and laughed, best moments ever

In my dream, we sing and dance like nothing else mattered

She tells me some truth about true love, simmer

I never wanted anyone else, though dead, to me she was alive

But at some point, after 3 years of talking in my dreams

She says she has to go forever

She says I would watch over you no need to bother

Tear roll down my eyes, I cried in my dreams

If true loves existed, I believed, for we were more than a team

Please promise me to find love again, that's all I ask

You have to give another girl a chance

You are rare and so caring, I wish death never took me

But it's time I rest, it's time you let me be.

Everything freezes, I wake up in tears

With the knowledge that I would never see her again

I know she is somewhere watching over me

True love never dies, this saying I still repeat
