Farewell
I love you
You know that right?
I don't want to leave you. Alone in this world
You are there
So close that I can touch you
But my hand drops down
There are tears rolling down your face
I try to hold on
Try to listen to your voice
Listen to you promise that you will never leave me
That help is arriving
And to not lose hope
You are trying to help me
But the battle is already lost
I know that
And you need to realize that too
So I take a deep breathe, calling onto every last ounce of my energy
I look into your eyes,
And see them shattering, which is the hardest thing I have had to see
You whisper a please.
I shake my head, hold your face and ask you for one last thing
"Please take care of yourself and… and don't do anything rash. I love you. Ok?"
He nods.
"I love you too baby."
"Can you sing? Sing our song?"
And the words flow from your mouth, as I close my eyes, and go to sleep,
But not before hearing the words
"Ave Atque Vale"
"Hail and Farewell"
