Can you please stay with me,

And wait until the end.

We can get through this together,

And more time with you I can spend.


Come on,

We can get through this as a pair.

Although it's currently hard for you,

Your pain, we can share.


Secretly I feared,

That her story wouldn't have a happy ending.

But I couldn't let on my worries,

So I had to keep pretending.


No amount of time spent with her,

Was ever enough for me.

For I never knew,

When I would finally be without thee.


Although it would be a privilege, 

To die next to you.

We wouldn't have to:

We would get through this together- that, I knew.


So Evelyn, 

I really want you to know.

Please, for me,

Hold on, so.
