• The sweet scent of your flower
    Still lingers on my skin
    As I was comforting your soul
    From deep within
    You were first screaming in pain
    Then in pure ecstasy
    You collapsed in my arms
    And fell asleep on me
    I held you tight throughout the night
    Wondering if this was all a dream
    Just thinking of what we had done
    Is really not what it seems
    You woke up
    And laid your head upon my chest
    I gently wrapped my arms around you
    Knowing we’d last longer than the rest
    Nine months later
    You became sick
    I kept blaming myself
    I thought my mind was playing tricks
    Everyone kept saying
    That I was a fool
    To be there by her side
    I just kept on missing school
    You were slowing dying
    The practitioners didn’t know why
    I sat there right beside your bed
    As I saw a tear roll from your eye
    You told me you had about a week
    Until it was the end of your life
    I spent every cherished moment
    Hoping you would’ve been my wife
    But as soon as the week was almost up
    You were gone
    I was at the funeral
    With our only son
    On Christmas Eve
