Shawn Mendes Imagines

Angel 🕊

A/N: I wrote this a while ago as part of a different story but now I've come back and revised it. Please note that you're in your early 70s in this imagine.

Y/N's POV

I hold his hand, looking down at his pale face. The steady rhythmic beeping of the machine keeping him alive was the only sound filling the room.

I knew he was fighting to stay with me, to stay breathing. He had gone under about a month ago, and now his beautiful brown eyes that I used to look into were gently shut.

The light was shining through the window onto his face. He had a couple lines from old age, but he was still as handsome as when we first met.

I came to the hospital today with a specific purpose, other than just coming to see him. Selfishly, I so badly didn't want to do this, but I knew I had to. I had to let go.

I press my lips onto his, holding onto his hand a little tighter. A tear silently rolls down my cheek.

"Shawn listen to me; I know you can hear me sweetheart." I pause for a minute, squeezing my eyes shut and trying my very hardest not to cry.

"Do you remember that day? The day you promised you would never leave me. The entire 46 years we've been married darling you have never broken a promise to me.

But the doctors say you're in pain. So, as hard as it is for me to do this, and as much as I desperately don't want to lose you baby, I love you so much and I don't want you to suffer anymore. You... you can let go Shawn."

A few moments pass, and the line on the monitor goes flat. Nurses rush into the room, as tears flow down my cheeks.

They try to use whatever medical devices but I already knew it was no use. He was gone. I knew had been fighting for me, fighting to keep his promise.

I walk through the cemetery, to his gravestone. There were flowers placed all around; by friends, family, and fans.

Some were wilting, and others were fresh, having just been placed there recently.

It's been a year since he left, but not a single day passes without me thinking about him. With my cane supporting me, I slowly sit down in front of the tomb.

I pull a piece of paper out of my jacket pocket, my hands trembling slightly. Then, I open it up.

My dearest Y/N,

I hope you never have to read this letter. But if you are, it means my time had come. Just know that I will always love you my darling, don't you ever forget that.

You have been the star of my world, ever since I met you. I cherished every moment we had together and believe me when I say this, I would do all of it over again if it meant spending another lifetime with you.

On our wedding day, I promised that I would love you till my very last breath and I made that promise with the intention of keeping it.

I love you Y/N and it doesn't matter when you choose to read this letter, I swear on everything I am, that I still do.

Lastly, my love I'm sorry for leaving you, and I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer. My only request is that you be happy. That's all I've ever wanted. Please don't cry for me darling, you know how much it hurts to see you cry.

Remember that I am still with you no matter what, and when the time comes, I will see you again. But for now, I'm watching over you, like your guardian angel :) I love you to the moon and back, forever and always.

~ Shawn  ♥︎

I look up to the clouds, at the sky above me, my tears making my vision blurry.

"I love you too Shawny," I whisper.

I know he heard me.
