Here you are in my arms, the night before your concious last. I whisper to you the thoughts in my head, "I'll see you soon. You know where I'll be. Just make that call if the time you fear hints at you to do so. I'll be there faster than you can think because you mean something to me. Something worth fighting for."
By your side I hold your hand. A moment I dare not lose. I see your eyes and tell you what i think, i feel, you should hear, "I'm here for you. I've always been. All you needed to do was pick up that phone and dial an eternity until i reach you at the other end. You know I am here, what kept you too long? I fear it was something I've done."
On my knees I say to you, "Don't let this go. Keep your world whole. Pick up the pieces and adhere them together again. Your scars will still remain in their hidden sleeves, forever reminding you of where you've been. Don't let that stop you. Please don't let that hold you down."
I fall to my chest and hold your bedsheets close. On the floor I cry to you, "Hold on a little bit longer. Just enough so I can hold you again. I want to read your sky blue eyes untill I cannot speak. Keep your breath inside your lungs long enough for me to say goodbye."
By your side I see your hand. A moment I've wished would never come. I can't see your eyes, but I'll tell you what I think, I feel you should hear, "I'm still here, but I can't be for you. You left me alone once more. I know where you'll be for now. One place I dare not dream. The other is right here in me, right here in me."
