I'm not dying, I'm living
but thinking of all the life
I could have lived.
All the love I could have loved
All the pain I could have felt
All the joy I could have filled
up with every second.
Not part of me leaving,
just layer upon unknown layer
being built, erected in your honor.
Take from what I know
to what you don't.
To what we stood for every waking
moment of past life.
To each soul you came to love
To love not as a friend, or
lover or elder,
but as your brother
and as your sister.
