Sacrafice

She sat him across from her,
She looked him in the eye.
"How much do you love me?"
He said, "For you, I would die."
She looked down at her hands,
"Would you ever let me go?"
His face turned very serious,
And he responded with a "no".
"What is this about?" He asked.
"Nothing, I was just Curious."
But he doubted in what she said.
Three weeks after this though,
She sat him down again.
And softly she wispered,
"Do you think there is a heaven?"
He stared at her intently,
Before opening his mouth to reply.
"Yes I believe there is.."
He pointed to the sky.
The girl seemed mostly satisfied.
But her eyes held a sad light.
She held his hand and kissed it.
He knew something wasn't right.
"Baby tell me now please, What are you hidding from me?"
She avoided looking at him.
This wasn't going to be easy...
Five days later she found herself,
Cradled in a hospital bed.
Her boyfriend right next to her,
Gently kissing her forehead.
"Your going to be okay."
He smiled down at her.
Still in shock,
That she had liver cancer.
She had told him she was sick,
And chances were very grim.
But during the week he was tested,
And told her cure was within him.
So when he had kissed his girl,
He had been kissing her goodbye.
How much did he love her?
...For her he would die....
The girl woke up later that day,
After a complicated surgery,
She had gone expecting to die.
Confused she said: "What happened to me?"
The surgeon looked at her.
"Your man also went under the knife,
He gave you his good liver in order to save your life."
So he hadn't let her go,
But instead gone in her place.
Trusting that one day in heaven,
He would again look her in the face.
