what scares me is their youth
mom, dad, family, voices fresh
faces light and smiles on
how can that be gone?

23 years have passed by
is it a joke or a lie?

I can't remember being 2
but I remember happiness, love
now turned into nostalgia, I had no clue
that so much sorrow was waiting above

what saves me is my memory, my mind
I continue to live and I remember
when I was tender
and love was all I could find
