I have to live up to you

I watch you from afar

Watch your every move

All the good deeds you do

All of the joy that you bring

Your little quirks and habits

Your every folly and fault

I watch you all the time, and think:

"Maybe one day I'll become like you.."

I only wish that were so…

Then I could make people happy as you do

Alas, becoming is for the living

I am one of the dead
