You Must Love Me
by: Jordyn
The only sound in the room was the hum of the life support machines. Normally warm brown eyes were water and bloodshot as they watched the slow blips on the heart monitor.
In the patient bed, clear blue eyes blinked uncertainly open. Blearily they focused on the one person that hadn't left the room in days.
*************
Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

"Love?" her voice was rough from disuse. However, when it was heard her boyfriend looked at her in relief and surprise.
"Babe...oh God... you're awake!"
"What... what's going on?"
He hesitated about telling her the truth. But one look at her eyes and he knew she knew the truth. She was just looking for confirmation.
"The.. the tumor in your brain.." He swallowed back his tears as he faltered. "It's gotten a lot larger."
************
Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to?
*************
Her blue eyes dimmed slighting at the news, but they held no surprise. She swallowed roughly. "How.. how long till...?" she wasn't able to finish the question.
Her boyfriend shook his head, gripping her hand tightly. She summoned her fading strength and squeezed his hand gently back.
*************
Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
You must love me....
You must love me...
*************
Pain, and then confusion crossed the gently features of her face. "Have you gone home at all love? You look a fright."
He laughed through his tears, and kissed the top of the hand he held. "I couldn't leave," he informed her.
*************
Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed...
*************
She sniffed, cupping his face gently with her hand. She struggled to sit up, but he quickly attempted to hold her down.
"No.. Jesus babe, please... don't get up. You might hurt yourself..."
She ignored him, and pushed herself into a sitting position, leaning on him for support. He relented and hugged her close.
"Hon.." He didn't bother to blink back his tears this time.
*************
Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away
You must love me...
You must love me...
************
Using the last of her dying strength she brushed his hair back from his eyes and kissed him gently. "I love you Rocky..." She whispered as she lay back down, closing her eyes one last time.
"I love you too Kat... I love you too..." He stayed there, gripping her hand and crying. He stayed long after the heart monitor flat lined, long after the machines were turned off. Long after the love of his life left him behind.
