MEMORIES WE SHARE – Part 17

Comes the Winter

snow

flakes

falling

You see them sparkle

I hear

death calling

Who decides what’s right for me?

because you love me

Set me free

You hear only words of hope

I have traveled far and wide

I am tired, I am sick

don’t take from me

my last, my pride

You want me here

I know you’ll grieve

but it is my choice

now to leave

Please don’t hold me oh so tight

You awake for day

I pray for night

Let me have

this final dignity

Understand this choice

I’ve made is right, for me

I’ve loved you for a long time

and I love you still

but it’s time for me to go now

please respect my final will

I believe we’ll be together

again in future times

My heart is filled with sadness

but this choice has to be mine

Please don’t think that I am quitting

I’m only doing what comes naturally

let me do this as I need to

it’s all right to let me be

I’ve weighed all the options

and I know that this is right

for me the end will come, love

as you kiss my lips goodnight
