Lying in a cold white single bed
With all the machine attached to you
Helping you add to your days,
but killing me sofly
Time is running out quickly, and I’m in pain.

I heard your voice whispering,
Slowly coming to my ears constantly
A deep and soft voice, like, from a cave
I can’t hear it loud and clear.

You want to say something,
Struggling to speak up properly
I felt in my heart, I’m afraid,
I know, this is the last word you can say.

I hold you in my arms so tight ang warmth,
closer to my heart, closer to me
I want to feel you for the last time,
I know… I know… Your time is nearly end.

My heart start beating faster, broken inside,
Like, falling glass, scattered everywhere
Tears of blood flowing from my heart,
Spikes of thorns, go deeper into my heart.

I felt cold, like, a bucket of ice water,
Throwing and pouring within me
Freezing, like, in the middle of Winter.
I felt hot, boiling inside, like, Summer time
Like, in the middle of blazing bush fire
There’s no where to go, there’s no where to escape.

But I want to hide these feelings from you,
I don’t want you to see, I am so much in pain inside
But my body is shivering, holding these feelings from you
I want you to see me, cheerful and happy, like before.

I don’t want to let you go, I don’t want to see you go,
I want to give you, the best of everything,
I want to spend the rest of my life with you,
My love, I want to hold you in my arms forever,
Wherever you go…. please bring my heart with you.
