THE RING

He wrote to her everyday
From the deathbed he lied on
She denied how she felt for him
She knew he would soon be gone

His body was giving up
But his heart was still fighting
She suddenly walked through the door
He gave her an old school ring

And he said:
"Before I leave this world
Before they pull the plug
I need to know in my heart
That I still have your love
I was saving this ring
For if we said "I do"
Now that I'm going to heaven
I give this ring to you"

She said "I'm sorry,
For never writing back
I didn't know what to say
I couldn't face the fact

That I might someday lose you
And have to live alone
Come home to an empty house
A life so unknown"

And she said:
"Before I leave this room
Before they pull the plug
I need to know in my heart
That I can find new love
I'll put the ring in a draw
And start my life anew
Search for another man
Who could never replace you"

She put the ring in her pocket
They gave each other a hug
They said there last goodbyes
Then the doctor pulled the plug

They knew somehow, someway
They'd see each other soon
He then left the world
She then left the room
