Beside Your Coffin

As I sat beside your coffin
For the very first time
The tears did not stop
My smile would not shine
But I did not touch you

As I sat beside your coffin
For the second time
I looked upon your face
So beautiful and kind
But I did not touch you

As I sat beside your coffin
For the third time
I thought of times we had
Remembrance on my mind
But I did not touch you

As I sat beside your coffin
For the fourth time
I thought about the future
Yours now so different to mine
But I did not touch you

As I sat beside your coffin
For the very last time
I thought how time did fly
Then I leaned over
And gave you one last kiss goodbye
