Have You Ever Really Loved An Angel
3
years ago. 3 years ago, he left. But then he came back….
Have
you ever met an angel?
Whose smile is like the sun.He
could make you laugh and he could make you cry. But there was one
thing that always stood out. Tommy Quincy was the guy for Jude
Harrison. He was THE ONE.
Whose
laugh is like a melody
Reaches everyone
And that's why they'd married 6 weeks after her 19th birthday. But now she was 21. And he was on a respirator. What do you do when you're 5 months pregnant, and in love with a guy who's never coming home?
See, because he left her again. He left. This time, not by choice. But it was one gun shot. A drive-by shooting. He'd protected her. He held on tight as the gun went off 8 times. EIGHT TIMES! What could he have done to have deserved to be shot in the back EIGHT times? She choked on a sob, squeezing a hand.
Have
you ever hugged an angel?
Swept up in their embrace
I swear,
there's nothing
In this world that makes you feel that safe
"Hey baby…I'm sorry…" 3 months in a coma. It'd happened the day that they were standing outside their home. She'd just told him of the baby. "I saw the doctor today. She told me the gender…We're having a baby boy…He's gonna need you, so you gotta wake up…" She choked on another sob. He wasn't going to wake up. That's what the doctors said. That there was too much blood lost, and that wounds were too severe…He'd never be able to lead a regular life if he did. He wouldn't be Tom Quincy anymore.
Have
you ever really loved an angel?
Once you have, you'll never be
the same again
The
monitor began to race faster. "Tom? TOMMY!? Come on baby, don't
do this to me!!!" She squeezed his hand as a nurse entered. "Are
you just going to stand there! Come on! Do something!"
"I'm
sorry, Ms. Quincy…We told you we couldn't do anything for your
husband…I really am sorry…"
"No!!!" She squeezed his
hand again as the beeping became louder and faster until it was
constant. She sobbed, throwing herself over his lifeless body.
.
Have
you ever had to let go of an angel?
Say goodbye, Let 'em fly
My
Angel
My best friend
She stood over his casket, one hand on her stomach, the other, stroking his cheek. "You promised me Tom…You said we'd always be together…" She touched his hand, squeezing it lightly. She could've sworn he squeezed it just the lightest bit, but everyone said she was out of her mind. He was dead and gone, and she was in denial.
Have
you felt the strength of an angel
When you needed it the
most
Lifted by those gentle wings
You know you are not alone
And when she got home, she crawled onto the couch, dressed in his jeans (Which surprisingly fit her, considering she was pregnant.), one of his old dress shirts, and his tuxedo jacket that he'd worn to every special occasion they'd ever attended, including their wedding. She was surrounded by his things. And the tears continued to trickle down her cheeks. She held on hard to his leather jacket, sobbing. Her throat throbbed from all the crying.
Every
now and then I
Feel the peace inside
Wherever life may take
me
I'm guided by that light
She sat there for a while, soaking in the quietness of the house. Because he wasn't coming back…and she knew that…he couldn't…He'd left her…and he didn't even apologize…
Have
you ever really loved an angel?
Once you have, you'll never be
the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel?
Say
goodbye, Let 'em fly
My Angel
My Best Friend
And as much as she wanted to hate him, she couldn't…Because he'd saved her…and more than once, she'd admitted, he was her best friend…Her light when there was none…Her guide when she had no one
I
have really loved an angel
And I will never be the same again
And he was her angel…her best friend. She felt a hand on the back of her neck. She looked up and smiled.
I
have had to let go of my angel.
Say goodbye
Let 'em fly
"Didn't
I promise I'd come back." She nodded. He leaned down and kissed
her. "Sing to me…"
"Have you ever really loved an
angel?
Once you have, you'll never be the same again
Have
you ever had to let go of an angel?
Say goodbye, Let 'em fly
My
Angel
My best friend…"
"I love you girl…more than life
itself…"
"I love you too, Tom…"
My angel,
My
best friend…"
"They were wrong…I did squeeze back…"
"And you promise you're staying this time?"
"I wouldn't leave you even if death was a factor again…You're my angel…"
"My best friend…"
