This sunshine, this night sky, this dawn, this dusk

tomorrow we may not see them again

this relation, this friend, this beloved, this soulmate

tomorrow we may not meet them again

the unfinished book, the half-eaten chocolate 

the unsaid goodbye, the last game we played

the unplayed songs, the missed travels

the last look into the eyes, the last tight hug

the soft touch of life, the sweet kiss of love

it all goes away, only memories stay

memories will go away, only emptiness will remain

Cherish the sight, relish the time

say the words, don’t be shy

love abundantly, play a while

finish that glance, kiss that bye

dance to a tune, play that song aloud

it will all happen in a jiffy, the breath will settle

the eyes will close, the heart will not matter

the story will finish, the story you lived and the story you wished to live

you will become green, you will become brown

the yellow blown and the pink gone
