Love

Say you won't let go

         Right now, I'm planning to die, although my time hasn't come yet... I don't want to live anymore, no one cares about me, they all hate me, either my family and so is there any will for me to live? I bet no one will care if I'll die. I'm broke. Fucking broke. I'm tired hearing shit like, "why is he still alive?" "Ew, gross," I'm fucking tired, I want to rest forever. Damn life.

"Bye life," I said I was about to jump but someone pulled me back to the surface.

"Don't! Are you fucking idiot?!" she shouted.

A beautiful girl... Did she saw that I was about to jump? She is sweating...

"Suicide won't help you to ease your pain! It will just ease someone's pain!"

"Someone's pain? Huh, and who is that person?" I said then smirked at her. "Don't stop me for the last time, if that person you are talking about doesn't exist."

She didn't answer me so I climbed again, I was about to jump but she pulled me, again.

"That person will be me," she said her tears are flowing, "I... I don't want to see someone about to die, and I'm doing nothing to stop them. I'm going to regret it forever if I did nothing." She sniffed.

"Then close your eyes," I said.

She wiped her tears then she held my again and she gets up and pulled me. We went downstairs, I don't know where are we going tho... and I don't know her either.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Bar, drinking beers can make you forget!" she shouted while pulling me.

Is it just I, or everything went on slow motion. The way she walks, we walk, the way she pulled me, the way the strands of her hair are slowly flying. It's beautiful. And the city lights, wow. Just wow.

After we walked, did we really walked? Maybe we just walked so fast. Now, we are inside of the bar. And it's my first time in here... She pulled me again beside the bartender where anyone can order beers, drinks, and stuff, I guess?

"5 glass ---" she said then looked at me, "No, make it 10 please," she said to the bartender and we waited for the drink.

2 minutes later the bartender already gave the drinks she ordered. Then she drinks the 5 of it, one by one, no stop. After those 5 little glasses she looked at me, she looks sluggish.

"Drink those," she said then points at the 5 little glasses. I did what she said, I drink them.

Argh, too strong! She is staring at me then she laughed at me. Woah, she's beautiful.

AGAIN, she pulled me, on the dance floor. I look like a drunk man, although it was only 5 little glasses, it's only my first time so don't blame me, plus it's a strong liquor. Then we danced the night away. Then we drink that liquor again.

We went outside and hold her hair while she is throwing up. Then she looked and smiled at me over her shoulder... for a minute I was a stone cold sober. Then I pulled her closer to my chest. I don't know why... I just did. Out of the blue, she hugged me.

"Stay over, please?" she looked at me with a sad face.

I smiled at her then kissed her forehead and said, "You should get some rest," then kissed her again on her forehead. Then we went home.

Years passed, now, we are married. We have kids, and we are now somewhat old? Hahaha. Just kidding we are still 30's.

I already cooked breakfast for us. I went into our bedroom to wake her up and she will eat her breakfast in bed. I bought her a coffee too and a kissed on her head.

"Bye, honey," I said then smiled, she smiled back too. I take my kids to school every day, wave them goodbye. And I always thank my lucky stars for that night.

I went back to the house to prepare for work. When I got back, she is doing the garden in front of our house. She looked over her shoulder again, for a minute, I already forgot that I am older. It is the same thing that happened on that night. Oh, I want to dance with you right now. You look beautiful as ever. Oh, honey, you always make me feel this way somehow.

Years passed again, but now, we are old, and our time is already near. I'm still can't thank you enough to God from that night.

"Honey, will you wait for me in the heavens?" she asked

"Yes, if I go first, I will. If you go first, well, will you wait for me, honey?" I asked her back.

"Of course, honey," she said then smiled

"That's a promise then."

We both closed our eyes, descend into heaven, peacefully.

"Arthur, let's play the song already."

"Okay," James said.

I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

"Let's leave them, let's go."

"Okay."

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most

I'm gonna love you till
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
'Cause now it's just you and me till we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go
