Slipping Away

What do you say

When the words just won’t come?

I’m standing here

Looking at you

For the last time

And for once in my life

I’m speechless

I’m watching you die

Slipping farther out of my grasp

And there’s nothing I can do

To stop it

What could I say?

What can I say?

To make this all go away

Your eyes close

But you squeeze my hand

Not very hard

But enough to let me know

That you were there

Your grip slips

Getting weaker and weaker

And now

When its almost too late

The words come

I love you
