Supernova

 My memory is leaving me

It won’t be long,

Until one day when I wake

I will not remember your face

 

I am scared about that

As I never want to forget you

Which is why I want to go

Still remembering who we both are

 

Please let me do this for myself,

I want to be remembered

For who I am now

And not what I will eventually become

 

Let me go with dignity

With my pride intact

If you loved me

You would let me go
