Dark clouds in the storm made it look so bleak
Trails were more dangerous than ever told
Yet me and my love were sure and bold
Dressed in the best clothes money could buy
She was my girl and I was her guy
We were excited and ready for the hike
Our minds full of thrill and fear alike
Step after step we climbed higher and higher
Staying side by side as the mountain air got lighter
There was nothing that could tear us apart
Our love was forever sharing the same heart
Climb got harder forcing my muscles to scream
Yet we stayed tied together secure in our team
We had always done everything in life together
Making sure to always take care of each other
Hike became more difficult and lungs started to burn
Obstacles appeared that made us twist and turn
Bone chilling cold made our finger start to ache
We paused and looked at the view of the lake
Even now I remembered my lady's words that day
She looked into my eyes and my heart turned to clay
I knew I would not like what I was going to hear
I waited patiently for the words from my dear
My darling, I can not go on for my body is at its end
I answered her and my encouragement I did lend
You can do this my sweetie, just a little more
Just a little further and a lovely view to adore
She shook her head sadly and had no doubt
I said that we just needed rest, lets hang about
Waiting for her response, I watch the sun drop
Time was passing and it was so long to the top
She continued in a voice so serious and deep
You have to leave me behind, its too steep
You have to go on without me, I will be alright
I will only hold you back and that's not right
Then neither us will go, this view is very nice
Sit with me love and we can avoid the top ice
We are long term partners and I will not leave
You are the most important, please believe
No she answered, I will not stand in your way
You deserve it all my love, especially today
Go! Go now! And don't even look back
Looking in her eyes, she offered no slack
Pulling her knife, she cut our lifeline rope
I looked in her eyes at the love and the hope
I felt how she loved me and I wanted to cry
Then the tears came, no matter how I try
Okay my love, I will go and do my very best
Hug me and hold me tight against your chest
Thank you love for letting me go and do this
Promise that you will be waiting with a kiss
For I may climb to the top and do this task
But it is in your light that I want to bask
So love, I go to achieve glory
Only so we can finish our story
Tell me what you think
