How Strong Are You Now?

RIP Patrick

Seven minutes since we kissed goodbye

Seven minutes since you smiled at me

Seven minutes since you left my car

Seven minutes, seven minutes too far

 

Twenty minutes 'til they said "he's gone"

The time it takes to make that one phone call

Twenty minutes in an ambulance

Is twenty minutes, twenty minutes too long

 

Three days for me to fall apart

Waking up believing the phone ringing was you

Three days and twenty minutes to cry when it was

Somebody else

 

[Nothing's supposed to happen

When our backs are turned

But the strong are heartless

And the weak get burned]

 

Seven minutes and the world can change

Seven minutes, is seven minutes

Too late

Author's Note

I miss you, Patrick. Rest in peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my son in a tragic car accident last year so I can relate to your heartache. Thank you for sharing. Debileah
