For a moment
For a moment it seems, that time has come to a standstill.
For a moment it feels, like I'm finally getting to know the real you, the true you that you have been trying so hard to hide.
For a moment it's just the two of us, in this warm embrace, without the need to please anyone.
For a moment you smile for me, a simple smile it may be, but for me nonetheless.
You held my hand, which felt so cold against your warm touch.
For a moment I felt such overwhelming bliss of being here with you.
Yet during this same moment, my body is limp and numb from the amount of blood I have lost.
I start coughing blood and you seem to be feeling great anxiety.
I can see the tears forming in your eyes yet I know you would never cry for me or anyone else to see.
For a moment it seems your voice has become muffled and I can no longer make out the words that you are saying.
Yet, I continue to smile for you for I've never felt so blessed in my life.
Slowly, my vision begins to fade and you seem to be so distant.
I feel your warmth and I feel your touch yet I can no longer hear or see you.
'Goodbye', I mouthed, my time was up but I continue to smile for you.
For at this moment, I am able to rest in the arms of you, my love.
And I could not have asked for anything more…
