[Verse 1 - The Longing]
If it would've been possible to stop your health from ever having gotten old
I would've searched high and low for the equations
To stop you from aging, eliminating time's stamp
The clock ticking loudly, my thoughts talking ever so quietly
And death has you waiting, knocking on our door
But no such coding exists
If we could all just live on forever in the way of love
My friend, you'd still be here and I am paying a toll
[Verse 2 - The Bond]
You were never just an animal by my side
You were a piece of my life
That I didn't know I needed until you were gone
You showed me what loyalty really looks like
How to give without expecting anything back
How to be there fully
In a way words can't describe
[Verse 3 - The Memories]
I think about all the moments you were there without question...
Each memory holding the weight of our shared time
Every moment preserved in the amber of love
[Bridge - The Wish]
If love alone could have kept you here
You'd still be next to me
But even though you're gone...
Your spirit lingers in every corner of my world
[Outro - The Spiritual Journey]
You're with me in ways I can't even begin to explain
And that's something time will never take away from me
Tega, a part of me is running free within you
I can feel you looking through the space and time
Letting me know you are there
And I feel the pressure pushing down
The blanket sinks in leaving paw prints all around
Teaching me still, it's profound because you have passed on
Yet you show up for me
Allowing me the wisdom to find solace in my grieving
And peace through this pain
[Final Verse - The Acceptance]
I understand the process and of that I will not rush
I wouldn't want to miss out on all these wonderful gifts
That you are giving me, filling the void though killing me softly
I greatly accept, the road I'm on step after step
My show will go on, journey unknown
This has been God's divine plan, of that I understand
Thank you Jesus, there is no understanding
Of the things we must do when without you
