That Night
by Angie  Cherry

  When I got the call my heart dropped,
They told me you had been in a wreck... my world stopped.
         
He told me you would be OK, He told me not to worry, 
He told  me the last thing you said was you loved me--
My eyes got blurry.

I didn't believe; I thought it was a trick, I thought about    
you hurt, and I was sick.
       
I drove to the party that you had been to, 
I came upon tire marks and broken glass, that's when I knew.

I rushed to the hospital I had to make sure you were alright, 
I saw all the people, their faces afright.
 
I don't even remember who told me how long you were trapped 
in that car, I couldn't think of anything else, 
but of how special you are.

I told your family to tell you I was there, They took me to you 
I could only stare.

I saw all the blood on your clothes and face, 
I wanted to take away all the pain, put myself in your place.

I looked at your hurting body, Your chin and chest were gashed. 
Your life was almost taken when you crashed.
 
You lay there in pain 
but you gave me that smile I'm blessed to see every day, 
I wanted to kiss you, make everything OK.

Your nurses came and told me to go, I didn't want to leave 
I care about you, please know.
 
I sat in the waiting room hoping 
to see you again before I had to leave, 
Then they told me I couldn't see you 
I didn't want to beleive.

I went home and cried myself to sleep, 
I know now my love is deep.

I dreamed I lost you, God took you away, 
I didn't know what I was gonna do, 
without you I can't go a day.

I went and saw you as soon as morning came to light, 
you lay almost dying in that bed 
but promised you were alright.

It's been a couple of months now since that night, 
but I still see the waiting room clearly 
so many faces filled with fright.

So many people care about you with so much love, 
I know you were sent to me from heaven up above.

You're almost done with your surgery, your gonna be alright, 
I close my eyes and my mind wanders, 
I hate to remember that night.
