Slip away

I see the fear in your eyes
As you draw me close to you
You think the illness is taking hold of me
But my energy is still so true.

I promised you i would hold on
For as long as i possibly can
But the tumor is eating away at me
I don't know how much more i can stand.

I've only just come to know you
And it's already time to let you go
You hold me in your arms
As i slip away so slow.

Your love makes this so much easier
And eases the pain ever so slightly
To know that someone cares about me
Stops the pain holding so tightly.

I could spend all my time
Being angry that I'm losing you
But instead I'll spend my last days
Feeling the love that is so true.

As i leave you on this day
I know it will bring you tears
You're only human so it will bring you pain
But I'll combat all your fears.

I'll always be right by your side
Through years and years to come
And on that day when i see you again
Just know you're my number one.
