I opened my eyes today
Realizing the feeling that you once
Gave me was fake

I searched my mind today
For all good memories
But it dawned on me
They all disappeared

I closed my eyes today
Trying to shut out the feeling
You gave me
But I failed yet again

I finally realized today
Your sayings come back to haunt me
And your words now put me on
My deathbed

But sweetheart today I realized
That yesterday was the day
That a year ago you asked me to marry you
And now today is the day you said
Goodbye

For it was not my ear you whispered in, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
