across the street

I saw you standing across the street
Looking confused and baffled
We have walked quite a few distances together
You loved walking and I loved to hold your hand
And when you talked it was like sunshine would flood into my world
I looked at you standing at the intersection tucking a wayward strand as it caught air
I can walk again with you as long as you will let me hold your hand
With you by my side I could walk to the end of the world
I look in your eyes and I fear nothing now
Death perhaps can only take you away from me
I look back at you and you look sad
There are tears in your eyes and people all around
And there is blood on the street.
