Afraid to Lose

You were my super hero You held me up when I was weak You protected me from the darkness You wiped away my tears I never thought of losing you Never dreamed you one day not be here Loving me with perfect indescribable love Never failing to amaze me You made me laugh every day Showed me how to take life not so seriously Encouraged me to take chances And always believe in myself Then everything went to dust The doctors said you wouldn't last My whole world turned upside down And now every day feels like your last You're weak and tired and it scares me You sleep too much and forget to smile But you still go on despite the pain You'll never give up I wish I could say the same I love you because you made me You sang me to sleep every night You looked at me like I was precious You cherished my presence I love you and I'll never stop I'm afraid of the moment you stop Leaving me to hold on to memories Remembering how much you loved me
