She lives her life day by day
Her time is running out
That is what the doctors say

I know it will all be over soon
And I just watch from afar
And desperately wish upon the stars and the moon

I am not afraid of being alone
My fear is much more terrifying
I fear the time when my seeds of youth are already sown

Years ahead after all my glory and strife
I fear for when she is gone,
And all I'll have are memories of her life.

I try to cling on to what remains
And hope that I'll always have something concrete
To remind me of her deep love and her pains.

I'll hug her now and satisfy my mind,
And share how I feel in a few minutes,
But in a month, I will be hugging what she left behind.

I hold on to her, not letting her go
Because when it's over
Memories will be all I will know.
What Remains
