i wish you could be here again
i'd give anything to see
the tremors of your beating body
alive, with me
you said before you left
something so profound
and i have tried, and tried to remember it
you never wrote it down
you taught me so well
the anxiety of our life and the care
with the last of your breath, you told me again
separated the hurt with the fair
i could never foresee
and probably should admit
that i am terrified to live in a world
without you in it
the pain, it's always there
you were so accepting, could you have gotten on?
if it were me to be you...
with half of a whole heart gone
met at sixteen, parted at sixty
that's forty four cycles, forty four gallons of tears
dried out my partial body
i am already suffocated without you here
what did you say, as i bent to kiss your cheek?
as the tremors of your life quietened, and you were partially left
what did you say
in your last moments of breath?
"you're beautiful, this close"
