I saw the moment

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
