Take care always, was what I told him,
then he drove away to see a fight,
t'was one of those fights you can't ignore,
cuz they all called it, the fight of the century.
Then he came home panting, his faintings were
clear,turning so red, so dizzy with spells,
can't talk coherently, can't stand up straight.
A heart attack was coming, I realized it was.
Drove him to the ER, and from there I just froze,
a dozen of people, all wearing in white, some were
just hovering, a lot were in helping,then I was
called to come near him, a request he made for me.
Then he looked at me dearly, his eyes so glassy
and weak, touched my face and kissed my hand,
with tears in his eyes.But if I try to recall it,
that moment in time, I was in a cinema watching
my life turned around. A lovely man was kissing me
and I was crying too, I told him I loved him and,
"please take me with you."
Then the movie ended,and I was alone, I thought it
was a dream,and pinched my cheek so hard, so hard
it almost bled,cuz it won't go away, I saw his dead
body passing by me.
So this is how it ended, the man I loved and treasured,
can't even start to write it, a long long time ago.
Cuz everytime I try,I crumble and I die.
But life goes on and on, and summers turned to spring,
one day he came to visit,in one of my reveries,
a beautiful sight, a smile on his face, and lovingly
told me, "go on and be on your way." Our love cannot be
measured by the moments we had,cuz it will continue
when I meet you here.
What a beautiful thought..
What a beautiful dream..
What a beautiful ending..It will continue the moment
I meet you here.
THE END!!!
Very evocative piece and the emotion so easily felt as you read the piece. Sad but very evocative. I see what you mean ...
I am a little curious about one line in the poem, about summer turning into spring. Considering that, at least for the 51 years I have been alive, summer turns to autumn, is that a metaphor for something, or could you possibly elucidate the line for me?
