If I had one last breath
I'd keep it forever
For letting it go
Means seeing you never

I'd hold it back in
'til the last of your days
When your eyesight fails
And your hearing's dead

You won't see me purple
Nor hear me whimper
Just feel the same hands
You've been holding for years

Hug me hard
I won't gasp
Pull me close
I need that touch

It's hard not to breathe
When your brain is screaming
Holding back is tough
But for you I must

To see one more smile
To feel one more kiss
A pack we've made
To die hands linked

'Til I see you go
With a smile on your face
Shall I let that breath go
And I sleep in peace
