Death has always been an intriguing concept
From the thoughts on what happens to us afterwards,
To the literal things that happen to us.
However living through the death of someone:
That's an entire story on its own.
When I was first told of your diagnosis, I was naive
Pushing the thought of losing you to the back of my mind
Hoping, praying that everything would be alright
Even though the fact was everything wont be.
This is life, not some story book happy ending.
Even though I so desperately wanted it to be.
You always had a smile on your face,
Even while looking death in the eye.
One month, that's what the doctors said.
He wont make it through the weekend the hospice nurse said.
But you did, your heart kept beating
Your smile still present
I'm jealous of heavens angels right now
Because now they get to be blessed with that same smile as I did
Every single day.
You loved me as though I was your own.
You always ensured, that even through the bad days, I'd end them with a smile
I wish I could see that smile.
It's selfish of me to want you back,
Because at least where you are now, you're no longer in any pain.
So even though you're gone,
I'll be sure to always smile at the thought of you
Even with tear filled eyes I'll smile
Because it's the closest thing I have to you
I'm still jealous of those angels
But I know that they're the ones who will be blessed with the biggest smile.
