Before I Knew It They Were Gone
by B. D. Kirby

Hope that the adventure will start soon
Just as my heart started soon
It's good to be alive
But then I knew that to be dead is to live

They... who were like angels from above
They... knew about my love
They... were almost done
Before I knew it... they were gone

I wanted to ask them about their past
But I didn't know it should be the last
I wanted to know
Just as much they wanted to show

They... knew how to die
They... never could lie
They... were not just yet done
Before I knew it... they were gone

I never could understand why I'm here
While I should belong up there
In Heaven they listen to me
They know who I shall be

They... were all along invisible
But they... were already visible
They were already done what is done
Before I knew it... they were gone...
