• A common boyfriend,
    his common girlfriend
    they hold hands
    and talk about their dreams.
    they laugh, they joke
    they have fun.
    one is sick
    very sick.
    no more fun.
    no more laughter.
    no more good times.
    concentration
    on the disease.
    not on you
    just getting better.
    girlfriend is angry
    all he thinks about
    is himself
    and the deadly disease.
    they break up.
    boyfriend cries.
    girl feels nothing about it.
    she could care less.
    A call, three AM
    a weak voice at the other end
    it whispers her name.
    "Grase. I still love you."
    she flinches. it was him.
    "I'm dying, sweetie."
    she knew.
    He coughed and said
    "I love you."
    the stupid girl
    hung up on him.
    He cried,
    quietly to himself
    in the cold hospital room.
    Next morning
    another call
    not him.
    a nurse.
    "I'm sorry to say,
    he passed on, sweetie."
    she gasped.
    "But he asked us
    to give you this message:
    I love you Grase.
    It's okay."
    she sobbed a few times.
    the nurse consoled her.
    Then hung up.
    and went back to
    her normal life.

    That girl was me. The boy was Liam, my boyfriend. He died on December the 9th of 2009. I never realized how much I loved, and still love Liam until he was gone. I have a terrible rain cloud over me every second of every day because I never said I love you back, or even goodbye. I can't believe how stupid I was for breaking up with him until he passed on. I went to the hospital later that day with my uncle and siblings, Liam's mom walked up to me, grabbed my shoulers and said: "I can't believe you guys broke up, right before his passing." I started crying, I deserved it. "He was concentrating on getting better for you, honey, not for himself. He wasn't being selfish." she squeezed my shoulers, let go and walked away, crying extremely hard.

    Please, tell someone you love that you love them. Don't break someone's heart because you are a selfish b**** like me, be a nice person, say I love you and be happy. Treat people well. You never know how much you love a person until they're gone. I learned my lesson.

    R.I.P.
    Liam Francis Grandhour
    11/17/1994 to 12/9/2009
    I love you back.
    your tuxi girl, Grasie loo.
