Walk to Remember', except for this poem, of course.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~*~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Last night I saw you crying
and that really made me scared
Only 18 , not ready to die
I am so unprepared
I think about it all the time
but there is nothing I can do
I'm not so scared of death itself
just scared of not being with you
But I want you to know that when I leave
it's not really goodbye
I know that this is part of the Lord's plan
But why, God, why?
Why do I have to leave you?
Why do I have to die?
Why does it have to be so hard?
Now I am starting to cry
I wanted to grow old with you
but those are useless dreams
My advice to you is to live while you can
for life is shorter than it seems.
Days turn into months
I feel lifeless inside
But I still have you, and I still have my faith
but they say I am about to die
I lay in bed , my body aches
I think I am about to go
You always try to be strong for me
but your weakness is starting to show
I reach for your hand with the strength I have left
and I see you are starting to cry
Tears blur my vision, you squeeze my hand
and my mind screams "I don't want to die!"
Landon, be brave for me, please
I'm going to a better place
In Heaven I will wait for you
For the day that I will see your face
"Someone tell me that this is just a dream,"
I think, as a tear fills my eye
I want to say so much, but I don't have time,
So, I love you, and goodbye.
