Im Holding On.

I'm holding on, that's all I can do.
I'm trying to grasp the small things, the memories I knew.

I'm holding on, like water in my hand
But it's slipping through my fingers. It's hard to understand.

I'm holding on, but why is it so hard?
I'm trying, really I'm trying my hardest to guard.

I'm holding on, but it hurts, it hurts a lot
I have to let go, such a cruel plot.

It's not the letting go that hurts.
It's a far crueller fate I have to face.
I now know it's the holding on, yes the holding on that is the case.
