Finally, the moment arrives. It’s time to leave home,
Step into the future you’ve worked so hard to earn.
And with one last glance in the mirror,
Everything changed in the blink of an eye.
You meet the partner of your dreams. It’s time to say I do,
To begin a journey so full of promise, so beautifully new.
The life rooted in love, laughter, and hope.
Everything changed in the blink of an eye.
Then comes the unexpected— Not one line, but two.
Suddenly you’re wondering,
Will the nursery be pink or blue?
Everything changed in the blink of an eye.
The anticipation builds, breath held tight,
Waiting to hear the rhythm of your heartbeat,
Waiting for it to become one with mine.
The pause, the hesitation, the quiet “I’ll be right back.”
Suddenly the world tilts, everything starts to swirl.
Everything changed in the blink of an eye.
“I’m sorry… your little one is gone. No more can be done.”
The words echo; they are so hollow and heavy.
The world shatters, collapsing around me.
Grief arrives without warning and fills every corner of my heart and soul.
Everything changed in the blink of an eye.
How do I move forward? How do I gather these broken pieces?
Is there someone who can simply hold my hand?
Slowly, gently, you begin to rise.
The pain is not gone, and love remains.
Everything just changed in the blink of an eye.
Know that I loved you from those two pink lines.
My life was forever altered from that moment on.
I will pick up the pieces
Carry them with me—shattered and all.
You are part of me; that will never change.
You are loved and remembered
With every blink of my eye.
