You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So, I hung my head and cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my dear son away

 

7 minutes.

That's how long they say
the brain holds on at the end...
letting life flash back
to what mattered most.

And if that's true...

I don't have to wonder
what my 7 minutes would be.

They would be you.

In the end,
when the noise fades,
and there's nothing left,

I'll go back
to the beginning.

Holding my breath,
waiting for yours.
Time frozen
as life was splitting
into before you,
and after you.

Nothing survived that night.
The person I was.
The life I had.
The world
as I knew it.

You will be
my final minutes.
The place my mind
returns to,
without hesitation.
The memory my heart
cannot bear
to leave behind.
Loving you
was where everything started.
And it will be
where everything ends.
