You,
Standing in the mirror view.
I can close my eyes and see you coming through.
Time.
I thought that we might have more time.
But with each day, I find
I close my eyes,
And, in my mind,
I still remember
You,
Wondering what we’re going to do.
Could you believe it when they said your days were few?
Me,
Struggling to finally see
This is how it had to be.
It makes me cry.
We said goodbye
Through a window.
Oh, but what I want to say
Is, if we had another day,
I would tell you that you’re beautiful,
And I would take from you
All the pain that you went through,
But that would only make me pitiful.
And you died alone,
And they made me stay away,
But you had to know
That I was there that day.
And I want to say
This is the time
To say that I’m
Going back to be
What I will be.
And I will see
What I can do
Here without you
