there is a girl
i used to know
i loved her,
even though
she died a long time ago.

her name was Charlotte,
charlie for short.
she had my feelings
all out of sorts.

when i first met her,
i didnt know
that she was dying,
just very slow.

but then she told me
and my heart started to break.
so i became everything she wanted to be.

we wrote a list
of everything charlie would do
and i promised it all would come true.

the things we would do and be,
i promised her
we would do it together, together we would see.
