Side by Side (Muted's Challenge)

Time has stopped
The existence of two might seem
Like it has become one

When someone dies
A part of the other goes with them
But a lifetime of memories will remain

Memories that will keep a gone life living
Memories that made you smile
Memories that made you cry
Memories that brought you together
And of course, Memories that brought you apart

So when someone dies they still live on
Side-by-Side with the loved ones
That held them close at night
Side-by-Side with the loved one
With whom you shared your life

(Recently I saw a movie, one I have seen many-o times. Every time I watch it I know it will make me cry. The movie is "Phenomenon" with John Travolta (George Malley) as main character. There are two lines in the movie that get me every time, and if you haven't seen it, I recommend it whole-heartedly.

The lines that get me are.

George Malley: "Hey, would you, uh, love me the rest of my life?"
Lace Pennamin: "No. I'm gonna love you for the rest of mine."

"Phenomenon"
