Things were looking up.
We had finally gotten on our feet.
long had we waited for this,
finding the consistency we'd missed.

Together we pulled through disasters.
held close to the fact that we'd prevail.
Nothing could do us harm,
as long as it was you in my arms.

We never saw it coming.
never even stopped to ponder.
it was something that could be,
the end of you and me.

Never would I have imagined.
that I’d hear those words.
feel the anguish and pain.
its enough to go insane.

The doctor tried to say it nice.
she tried to sugar coat it.
but no matter how it came,
our lives would never be the same.

"we're sorry, its cancer."
"there's surgery and radiation."
No matter what we'd have to do.
you promised we'd make it through.

I believed in you, in us.
When you held my hand.
you were my everything,
my strength when I had nothing.

Nothing could come between us.
nothing would destroy love like this.
however we didn't count on,
taking on something so strong.

love is strong,
yet not enough for this.
but it's alright
because we're going to give it all our might.

Together we will pull through disasters.
hold close to the fact that we'll prevail.
Nothing could do us harm,
as long as it was you in my arms.
