Can You...?

"Can you live without me?"

If I said I could, would you believe me?
If I said I could not, would you think of me as a weakling?
Truth is, I can never answer you,
Truth is, I will be sad,
Truth is, I will go on,
Truth is, I will not forget about you,
Truth is, I will always think about you, but,
Truth is, I will go on in memory of you...

"Are you scared of not being with me?"

If I said I were, would you believe me?
If I said I were not, would you think of me as an apathetic person?
Truth is, I can never answer you,
Truth is, I will be afraid,
Truth is, I will go on,
Truth is, I will try to be strong,
Truth is, I will always think about you, but,
Truth is, I will go on in memory of you...

"Will you be lonely when I am gone?"

If I said I would, would you believe me?
If I said I would not, would you forgive me?
Truth us, I can never answer you,
Truth is, I will be lonely,
Truth is, I will go on,
Truth is, I will try to be occupied with things,
Truth is, I will always think about you, but,
Truth is, I will go on in memory of you...

There are so many things I could not answer in life,
Yet, I promise that I will honor the solemn oath I pledged long time ago,
I will continue to honor the memory and the values and the lessons you gave me,
I will continue to go on,
I will try my best to be strong,
Not because I want to forget you,
But because I know that,
As long as I live,
There will be someone who will keep your memories alive, and, thus,
You will live forever...
Eternally...
