He's still here...

(He's fighting to stay)

 

He's wearing his poker face again

(He's smiling inside)

 

He's been sleeping for a while

(He's awake inside)

 

He was so happy then...

(He still is and he will be)

 

He's barely breathing...

(He'll be better but not here)

 

He'll never wake up

(He wants to)

 

He must be listening, right?

(He is...)

 

"...I love you."

 

"Time of Death. 10:37 p.m."

 

 

He stood beside the bed, now as a spirit, slowly disappearing while saying,

 

 

"I-I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer... Looks like I lost... we lost this time. I should have taken care of myself better...then, I... I wouldn't have to leave this early... We're both here but I miss you already... I'm sorry I couldn't do what you want... I'm listening, always... I will wait for you on the other side. just like how you have been waiting for me... There, we will surely not miss each other...Hmm... I'll be watching over you to make sure you will be safe... I love you too."

 

 

 

 

 

 

He's been waiting on the other side ever since...
