I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this even though I try

his girl friend in the hospital before she passed

last time and just feel her love. He was
devastated by her death and even though he
wanted to hide how hurt he was, it was more than
obvious.

Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face

Like tonight's sky

Try to scream out my lungs
But it makes this harder

Going back to the time
Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet

Standing close to the edge
There's a pile of my clothes
At the end of your bed
As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all

on the edge, ready to jump. He’s

falls, off the edge. Making a joke of
everything so he can come to terms
with taking his own life in grief.

Your life, your voice
Your reason to be

Moment in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
