Let Me Embrace Lonely Distance
First, I got the message you were sick
then the message that you were admitted
then came the message of your death.
It's just a matter of days when distance
between life and death could be counted,
just a matter of days to your funeral service.
Let me embrace this lonely distance
by joining in your funeral even in absence
Let me embrace your memory alive today.
