I am holding your hand,
the same hand I held so many times before.

But the person it belongs to- 
that’s not you anymore.

You are slipping away from me –
it started slowly but you become more and more distant each day.

There won’t be new memories that we will create together
because those will be mine and not ours.

As you retreat into your own world day after day,
I wished I could follow 
But all I can do is to watch,
how the person you have been
is becoming a shadow 

While the shell looks the same
it’s not you who lives in it 

I wonder if you still remember us –
as I remember it all. 

Every single second since we began.
And I will love you forever-
Even when you forget that you loved me
Even when you won’t recognize me no more
