I loved you more than you know,
We were together for two years,
But then God, hit me with a low blow,
It was the worst of my fears,
Why did you have to leave me?

Why did you have to die,
We were both in the car,
So why am I still alive,
We didnt even get to go far,
Why did you have to leave me?

I really hope you heard me,
When I talked to you in your hospital bed,
It was so hard for me to look at you,
How come i wasnt hurt too?
Why did you have to leave me?

I think about you all the time,
It's hard for me to move on,
Sometimes I can feel you with me,
It's hard to accept that you're really gone.
Why Did You Have to Leave me?

It's hard not to blame myself,
Maybe I could've prevented the crash,
This has been messing with my health,
I miss you more than you know,
I dont want to let you go.
Why Did you Have to leave me?

I know you're still with me,
You'd be mad if you knew I blamed myself,
You were the best person I knew,
So why didnt God take me instead of you?
Why did you have to leave me?

The author's comments:
My boyfriend died recently. We were in his car and a truck hit us. All I suffered from was a broken arm, sprained ankle, and a few cuts and bruises. He lost his life two days afterwards.

R.I.P A.C.A.
I love you.

My heart really goes out to you. That is so horrible. I can't find the right words to say. I know sympothy and "I'm sorries", don't make it better. I know you don't want pity. But while reading this, my eyes filled with tears. Reading this, made me feel like I was right there with you, feeling your pain. There is so much emotion in this piece.  I truly love it. I will leave you with this. Life can really be hard. Life will throw lots of barriers in our way. Life will take things away from us, even destroy our very purpose. But all we can do is rebuild it, even though it is such a battle. I know "words of wisdom", probably won't help. But I couldn't help myself. I hope you are not angry or offended. And I hope you don't mind my input. He is your purpose, and always will be. Although at times you may want to give up, you may want to die. Continue to live life. Not only for yourself, but for him. He will live on through you. Please don't ever forget that. When you get down in the dumps, and your at your lowest point, or maybe even your wits end, remember, he loves you, and he does not blame you. What happened wasn't your fault. Continue to keep his memory alive, and celebrate the life he lived through yours. This piece really touched my heart.
