I was stopped dead in my tracks with the phone to my ear.
Your mom's voice in a panic, stricken with fear.
Your phone had died; I was beginning to assume the worst.
I felt my world crumbling; the tears came out...burst.
I called you repeatedly and I heard your voicemail each and every time,
I looked up to the stars, begged you would be okay;
No one could be ready for that; No today, not your time.
Then I suddenly found you online and my panic started to ease,
I sent you two messages, heart still racing uncontrollably,
Pleading silently, answer me please.
When you finally did, I let out a heavy sigh.
I never realized you could care for someone so deeply, until last night.
I texted your mom, told her you and I had finally got in touch,
Thanked the Lord above me and in that moment I knew I loved you very much.
I went out to the garage and cried for a few,
A simple cry of relief. Realizing what could have very well happened.
I'm just so very thankful that it didn't and that I still have you.
