Chelsea
By Ashley Nicole Bailey
To Chelsea Gaetke who died in car accident on 9-29-02
The flowing tides of the sea retracts against the wind
And the time she had on earth has begun to end
But the one thing that keeps my eyes dry
Is in my heart I know we'll never say goodbye.
The grains of sand fall onto the ground
Disappearing forever without a single sound
But I know in my heart why I don't cry
It's because I know we will never say goodbye
The ivy creeps up a cold stone wall
Ticking the time until the end of us all
But one thing im sure of, is in my mind
I know we will never say goodbye
The fire grows low and the burning embers begin to fade away
And the time marks another ending day
And in my ear whispers a gentle sigh
You know, we'll never say goodbye.
A life taken from us so young, so quick
The thought of her being gone makes me sick
But as i sit and watch out the window at the clouds that go by
I know we will never say goodbye
And the cycle of life seems to go on
And the sun rises to meet a new coming dawn
And as today comes and yesterday dies
I know we never say goodbye
I know it hurts us all so bad
To think of the fun times that we always had
And i know its hard, oh so hard not to cry
But somehow I know we will never say goodbye
Remember me I hear a whisper say
At the end of another terrible day
And as onto the bed my weary body lie
I hear a thought of the person I love saying
We will never say goodbye
