freefall

Truthfully, I don’t have very much left of you

Just the handful of memories that I still carry in my heart

(My greatest fear used to be the darkness, but now…)

What if I forget them?

No matter what, I don’t want to lose sight of you

I’m holding on with everything I have, but even so

Gradually, slowly

I can feel them fading away

It’s like stepping off of a cliff with my eyes wide open

One moment, I’m standing by your side

And the next, I’m not

And without being able to do anything

Without being able to stop myself or even cry out

I’m falling further and further away

I already have so little left of you

If I lose any more I won’t have anything left to remember at all
