2016 [2]

I remember the last day

Both my cheeks I stained with tears

When I kissed her lips

And whispered in her ear:

"Darling I will come

I promise I'll take you home

I'll light your days like the sun

Away from this hospital room

And your suffering will be done"

"My love, I know it's hard"

She smiled sadly

A hand on my cheek

"But don't make promises

You simply cannot keep

And on this day

That will be my last

Have I failed to remind you

How lucky I feel

Lucky, more than ever,

To be in love with you?

Now that I'm standing at the brink

I can rest soundly and say,

That I might have ached

I might have writhed

But at least my love will stay

So please remember me fondly

When years go by and tears go dry

Tell our little girl about her mother

Tell her how much I love her

And don't ever let her cry

Think of all the things

We have shared and we have seen

But don't think about the way

Things might have been

Remember me once in a while

But promise me you'll try

To live a full life without me

As each day goes by"

Never had tears streamed

So bitterly across my face

I kissed her hard and held her

Tight in my embrace

"You know I will never be able

To put you from my mind

Your memory will be treasured

And never left behind

I will recall those days

Look back on all those times,

But I can't help to think

Of the things we'll never do

And there will never be a day

When I won't think of you"
