Last time

by ~*SugarCube*~   Mar 17, 2007


He was everything to her.
He made her feel like a queen.
They've been together since they were teens.

He never once left her side.
He was so happy forty years ago when she became his bride.

He became very ill.
He didn't have much time.
She never left his side.
She didn't want to leave.
She didn't know when his last breath would be.

They both had smiles on their faces.
Trying to make the last couple days together the best.
Even though they were both in pain.
She knew without him nothing would be the same.

She held his hand and told him she loved him with all her heart, that one day they'll be together again. giving him one last kiss.

A tear rolled down his cheek as she could see he was getting weak.
The doctors rushed in.
but they couldn't save him.

That day was the last day she ever saw him.
The last time she ever felt his lips against hers.
The last time she held the hand of the man she loved.
The last time she looked into his baby blue eyes.
The one time she had to say goodbye.

    'He was so happy forty years ago when she became his bride.'
