Seven years of Love

~*~*~first off i know it's long but it's well worth the read. thanks for taking the time to read if you do~*~*~*~

He loved to watch her smile
He loved to watch her laugh
He loved to be her best friend
And carry her books to class

Everytime he was around her
A smile he always had
He was there for her forever
Through the good and bad

Then one day he realized
"Our year's about to end,
I can't loose her, I love her
No longer can i pretend."

So on their graduation day
After the hats were thrown
He took her hand and led her off
So they could be alone.

"I have to talk to you alone
I can't hide it anymore
Our friendship has changed over the years
It's not like it was before.

I'm scared to tell you everything
I'm scared i'll loose you forever
But i know after today i'm going to
After seven years together

But just last night i was thinking
All the memories that we've made
I can't stand i might loose you
So now i will explain

I think i've fell in love with you
Something i did not plan
But everyday i see you smile
It's more than i can stand

I've loved you since i met you
But now it's more than you know
I had to tell you all of this
Before i let you go."

He paused a moment to take a breath
To see her reaction
Although the tears were there, he knew
She seemed a little distracted

"I too have fell in love with you
But it's not the only secret i've kept
Each day i live a normal life
And each day i try to forget

This is something i haven't told
I just couldn't stand to break your heart
But it's time to tell the truth
Before it's too late to start

Back when i first met you
I was sicker than you knew
I went to doctors all the time
To see what they could do

And in the end an x-ray showed
Just what exactly was wrong
They told me my treatments would start
And my life might not be real long

And then the time i was out for a while
The time i went to the beach
I wasn't there, i was in the hospital
Having the removal surgery

When i came back, i wore a wig
And hid everything so well
I didn't tell you cause we were young
I wouldn't share my hell

And as we got a little closer
I could tell you did care
And to risk breaking you
I just couldn't bare

But as the years have went on
And we have been together
the doctor said it's a miracle
How fast i've gotten better

And now that we've graduated
The cancer has come back
And i have been fighting hard
This obstacle i have to pass

The boy looked at her sadly
An expression on his face
A look of worry? No not quiet
The look she couldn't place

"After seven years you didn't tell me
A secret that threatened our life?
You went through all that pain alone
I won't even begin to ask why

I'm still in love with you darling
This i'm afraid will never change
You're the one i live for now
The woman of my dreams.

So let me be your miracle
That takes it all away
And i promise that through it all
By your side i'll stay.

So if you'll have me now that i know
We'll go through it all together
By your side i'll forever be
Even after you get better.

And she smiled and took his hand
Ready to let it all go
For many years might come her way
And wrinkles just might show

Ten years later and a kid on the way
Her battle is finally done.
Still by her side, always for her
The battle together they've won.

by:me
i have two friends that are going through this right now and i think this may be them in a couple years because they have been together for going on 7 years now. . . best friends at first and now more than that. . . .but the sad thing is, she really has cancer. and we graduate this year so she's having a hard time. I dedicate this to them and if you will please keep them in your prayers.
thanks for taking the time to read. . .
