On the bed,

With her last wish

She asked me to

Fly to the moon

And

Bring back the brightest star

On the bed,

With her last breath

She said to me

I want to shine like the star

The star you’ll bring back to me

On the bed,

With her last words

She told me

I’ll wait for you to come back

I asked

Why can’t you take me there

To the place we’d be together

On the bed,

With her last thoughts

She closed her eyes

And said goodbyes

To all the stars

In the sky

On the bed, 

With her last heartbeat

She faded away

Not knowing all along

She was the sun

Guiding the world

With the brightest light
