(Verse 1)
As the first leaves of
autumn began to fall,
Sarah sat in the quiet
corner of the hospital room,
her heart heavy with an unbearable truth.
The doctor’s words echoed in her mind,
(Chorus)
"You’re very sick, Sarah.
It’s time to prepare your heart."
I really wish I was lying,
I really wish it was a dream.
She knew what he meant;
the time she had left was not measured in years,
but in precious, fleeting moments.
(Verse 2)
Her thoughts wandered to Jack,
the love of her life,
the person who had brought
endless joy and laughter
into her days.
(Chorus)
The thought of leaving him
broke her heart more than the
illness that ravaged her body.
She couldn’t bear to see the
pain in his eyes when he
learned the truth.
(Bridge)
Sarah knew she had to
make the hardest decision
of her life—to let him go,
to ensure he found happiness
and love without the shadow
of her illness hanging over them.
(Outro)
That evening, Sarah wrote a letter, tears staining the paper as she poured out her soul.
