My Last Words

Folder: 
Dedications

My last words to you:
"I love you",
a fragment of a life story
that was cut short.

 

I had so much left
to say to you,
but you were taken from us
before we were ready. 

 

I counted on tomorrow
even though your fate was decided
and you were gone
before the next sunrise.

 

So my last words escape my heart
and rest with you
in a memory box I keep
in the corner.

 

"I love you...
more than words can describe.

 

I love you

in spite of your mistakes,
regardless of any pain
you've caused anyone.

 

I love you because
you are my blood.

 

I love you since
you and I are the same.

 

And in your death,
I rise from your ashes,
and change for both of us
into who you were
always meant to be."
