If You Took Me By The Hand

If you had tried to take me by the hand
Would it have been the same?
If you`d have called right out to me
Would I have responded to my name?

I knew you were so very special
So many times you have been told
For I see it when I look into your eyes
They are the windows of your soul.

You know I see the hurt & pain
You know you don’t have to say a word
Our souls are so connected
That my heart already heard.

That unspoken voice which calls to me
And tells me it`s time for you to go
Tears my heart into many pieces
Cant see you see I love you so?

I know I have to be so brave
And your suffering I must end
But how do you ever say Goodbye
To a loved and faithful friend?

I will go by your example
You`ve always been there for me
I will be strong and hold on to my tears
Until your eyes no longer see.

And when you cross the Rainbow Bridge
Please wait until I follow you there
For this time when you call me
I promise I will hear.

Im glad you didn’t take me by the hand
For both of our sakes
Instead you took me by the heart
For it was always yours to take.
