If you ask me what I am
I will tell you
that I'm a sentence...

Please give me a chance to explain why
since this is sadly not at joke to make you smile
Instead it's one last try
to lessen your sorrow
when I *die....

Because like every sentence
my life has an end
and when I die
I won't wake again.
But unlike many I won't die old.
won't have a family
which will be left behind with sorrow.

'Cause I'll die young, I already know.
without children and somebody whom I love.
My mother might cry
My father will probably drink more wine.
But slowly, I know, that they'll move on.
The same goes for you and him.

I know your family will get you up on your feet
none of you will continue to weep
and heal slowly year after year
eventually you'll both forget
that I even was here.

In the meantime I'll just be sleeping
Peacefully, while I'm just dreaming
of the times when we were together
him, you and me, just us three

Him, who's closer to you than I'll ever be
is at the same time my only regret
because of the three words
which will be left unsaid.

Please my friend
promise me you'll be fine in the end
since I won't be able to cheer you up
and that alone almost hurts enough
to make my heartbeat stop...
