There by AndromedaMarine
I'm gone and yet I watch her
Watching everywhere
I've died and she's in heartbreak
But perpetually I'm there.
--
She's cried every tear and more
Knowing it's not fair
I've died and she's in heartbreak
But perpetually I'm there.
--
Alone and always wond'ring
If I even cared
I loved her without reprieve
And perpetually I'm there.
--
Eventually I'll leave her,
But gone I'll never be.
I'll always be around her
Comforting silently.
--
Although I'm not there really
She'll always have my heart
To her I have ascended
Never to depart.
--
She knows though I'm not with her
She'll have to move on soon
She knows I'll always love her
Like sand upon the dune.
--
In truth I'll never leave her
A soldier past the end
I'll be with her forever
In heart, in mind, in hand.
--
I'm out there, ever, always in
The universe somewhere
She knows I truly loved her
She knows I'm always there.

Elizabeth Weir found the poem saved on John's computer.
It was one month after he'd died.
In his room she'd found a diamond engagement ring.
Elizabeth wore it for the rest of her life.
