They both drowned in the deep waters
but only one of them could be rescued, they said
and he wished to save the one he had on the altar
so he acted as if he were dead

Nobody knows how many tears she shed
when she opened her closet that evening
and saw that white dress
and remembered the truth she still had issues perceiving

He told her once, Love I'll fight for you.
You're my wife
but she never knew that a time will come in her life
when this won't remain the truth

His photos are now all black and white
she never thought she'd not have him by her side
She never thought there'd be a time in her...
