One last breath

One last breath and it’s the end.
One last breath and I won’t see you again.
One last breath my dear, I’m nearing my end.
You tell me not to leave, but I have no choice.

I cannot do anything anymore. I look at you. You look at me. You say “I love you”, “I love you too”. “Please don’t go”, but I have to now. I’m sorry my dear, for leaving so soon. I’m sorry my dear as I take one last look at the moon tears streaming down your face now,

I do not want to do this to you, but I cannot control it. 11:58pm as I say my last goodbye. 11:59 as you begin to cry.

I say “I love you, and we will meet again someday”. You say you will never forget me from this day on.

I drift off to sleep. A sleep of which I will never awaken. You scream out at the top of your lungs, “NO DON’T LEAVE ME!” as people look in but don’t dare to walk in.

But it is too late as I have begun my end. The clock strikes 12, I take my last breath. As my heart stops, yours starts to race.

You cannot believe this is happening right here in this place. One last breath I took somewhere, somehow, but I will always be with you as I am right now.

As I look down upon you at a sight I hoped to never see. There I lie, there you cry helplessly. One last breath I took but it’s not quite goodbye.

One Last Breath and that’s the END.
