I'll lay
with your memory
until I can't remember
your face, your hair,
your smile

I'll laugh
with your jokes
until I can't remember
the punch line, the beat,
the heart

I'll dance
with your body
until I can't remember
your muscles, your shape,
your soul

I'll stay
with your presence
until my heart
won't beat anymore

I'll try to escape
your never ending embrace
you're a flame
a never dying ember

for I know
that one day
you'll leave me
like the rest

but right now
I'll hold on
to the string,
keeping us together
