④⑥ Terrible Things (Any x Reader) -His POV- *Warning. Major Feels*

By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think

I was talking to my teenage son, tears nearly falling down my face as I recounted memories.

That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

I remembered the day I met her clearly; it was etched into my brain. I saw her standing by her cabin, talking with her siblings. Her (your hair color) hair was shining in the light.

When I walked up to her, she gave me a half-smile.

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."

I was staring, because she was absolutely perfect. And I was dumbfounded when she said those few little words, because it hadn't even occurred to me that I loved her yet.

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things.

Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story that couldn't compare.

I dated her for years and finally got the nerve to ask her to be mine. We were sitting by Thalia's tree, watching the stars and laughing.

I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

She gasped, and nodded, covering her mouth with her hand. I took her hand and slipped the ring onto her finger.

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray,
That God shows you differently.

A few years later, we had a baby boy. He was about a year old when she finally decided to tell me.

She said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

When I found out, we cried on each others shoulders.

Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.

She died a few weeks later, and I miss her every single minute of every some day. I wouldn't wish this heartbreak upon anyone.

So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things

I don't want my son going through the same problem I did, so I hoped that he wouldn't fall in love.
