He can't even hug her and neither can I
We are humans longing for the sky
She could go but we have just begun
Repeating gestures of our love
The greetings and goodbyes we know so much
Are ever so precious now that time's up
Don't take her before I tell her something
She'll whisper across the room she loves me
Loopy, we'll try to decide which will kill her
The sickness or the pills, none of which is better
He jokes that she's had five margaritas today
I know he's pained in a different way
We miss her but we cannot cry
We are soldiers staring at the sky
