I watch you pace back and forth
in your apartment,
grasping at faded memories
and moments long since forgotten

You collapse on the couch
with a heavy hearted sigh
you fidget and fiddle
as you wonder where I am

I always lived like this
keeping a suitable distance
it's almost comical to think my afterlife
would be the same

I wish I could move on
but I can't seem to let go of you
I can't bare the thought of leaving you
here all alone

but I know I have to,
it's for your own good.
I move closer to you
and kiss your forehead

within an instant
I begin to fade
I know you'll be okay,
but I'll never forget you...
