Stay still, my heart
Don't be scared
I am a friend
Who speaks to you

I waited and hoped
That the moment might never come
That it simply passes by
Or maybe never happens

I look back
At a beautiful time
You were the refuge
And the cradle of my being
You fought
And shared every moment with me
I am proud
To be with you even now

I capture an image of you
And close my eyes
Then the rooms are no longer empty
Let everything else just rest
I capture an image of you
And this one moment
Remains my mental possession
Heaven won't get that back

You came to me
Before the very first sound
When the hourglass seemed endless
You lived
Fought in every storm with me
Never asked for anything
Only gave and gifted

You showed me
What truly matters
You conjured a smile
with your silent gaze
without any words
yet full of love and life
you gave so much of yourself
to me

I look back
At a beautiful time
You were the refuge
And the cradle of my being
You fought
And shared every moment with me
I am proud even now
To be by your side

I capture an image of you
...

I let you go
And wish you all the happiness in the world
In this moment
You are the only thing that matters
Let yourself fall
And simply fall asleep
I will be by your side forever
