Just as she'd done in the hallway last week.
Never again would she have him to hold,
Never to be there as she grew old.
Everyone watched as she bent down near
To whisper "I love you" in his ear.
All through her mind, memories ran
Of the times they laughed and walked hand-in-hand.
She smiled as she remembered their very first kiss.
That day is one she'd never dream to miss!
They were each other's very best friend.
She couldn't tell when she'd see him again.
No one around her dared to speak
As a silent tear slid down her cheek.
All who were watching did not make a sound
As they lowered his casket into the ground.
