There Will Come a Day

There will come a day when I will turn deaf.
But before that happens,
let me spend more time with you,
so that I can remember
your sweet voice of a nightingale in the silence.

There will come a day when I will turn blind.
But before that happens,
let me spend more time with you,
so that I can remember
your beautiful face of an angel in the darkness.

There will come a day when I will lose my senses,
I will suffer from illness and I will forget who I am.
But before all that happens,
let me just spend a little more time with you,
so that I can remember
the precious time we spent together despite the chaos.

There will come a day when I will be gone.
But before that happens,
let me spend more time with you,
so that you can remember
how much I've cared for you,
how much I've loved you.
