* * *Minutes are passing like racing bullets
As I lay here, breathless, in your arms
I can feel my last seconds with you coming
As the blood seeps from my wounds like a river
How can I find the last bits of language to utter?
Which words will be enough to last forever?
How can I say that I've loved you since the start
Enchanted by those forest-green eyes?
What way can I convey that I'm sorry to cut our time short?
Perhaps if I'd been more careful, we'd have more time?
But love, truthfully I'm glad it's me and not you
Because the lack of your presence would kill me slowly
Between the wheezing and the sighs of pain
How can I tell you what would take an eternity to say?
I want to tell you every single feeling in my heart
And have you know me as you now never shall
The other side materializes before my eyes
And then I know what it is I must say:
"Remember love, it is better to spend a beautiful year
Than fourteen or more mediocre ones together
Do not regret that death took me away
For it makes what we had much more precious
Carry me forever in your heart, love
I'll carry you forever in mine."
