Final Moments
Then There's You
I was glad to have met you. I was glad to have known you. You have made the days bearable, you have made me want to live on, to look forward to tomorrow.
You touched my heart and consoled it. You took my trembling sanity and kept it stable enough for me to appreciate the things I should be grateful for.
Your hugs that held me close. Your kiss that sparked life into me. Your smile that gave me hope. Your tears that made me hurt.
In these final moments, these things I keep close to my weakening heart.
“Don’t cry,” I say. “Send me off with a smile.”
And you try.
The tears won’t fall. I don’t have them anymore. “Thank you,” I croak out.
