My Only Friend Lyrics

This song reminds me a lot of A Walk to Remember, even down to their love of astronomy.

I had all the stars with you And I had enough (A nod to the astronomy connection, time spent together)

I will wait outside As long as you are alright I will know to die You are beloved (This reminds me of when doctors are bringing someone into the operating room and tell the family to wait outside. "I'll wait outside but you have to be fine".)

The rest of the song seems to talk about them being together, then the subject collapsing, being told the battle is lost, seems to be about losing someone to a chronic illness, very much like A Walk to Remember.
