I dont remember much of that night,
But I do recall the crashing...
Those trees that were lashing...
After that she never again got to see the light.
I woke up later,
Not knowing where I was,
I looked at the white room with a pause.
Where is she? Where is my lover?
I screamed for my girl,
People came running next to me,
I yelled for them to let me be,
All I wanted was my one, my only, my girl.
A short, stocky man stuck a needle in my vein,
I felt numbness in my arm
As he told me to be calm.
He said I survived though thered be a lot of pain.
He paused for a second and looked down,
Whats wrong I cried softly.
The doctor paused and whispered, she wasnt as lucky.
My parents and my loves parents looked at the ground.
I stared at them with shock in my eyes,
I felt the tears coming, I was sobbing uncontrollably,
My hands covered my face as truth creeped upon me.
Dad said, Cmon, lets leave her alone guys.
Everyone left the room,
I stared at the bed next to mine,
Still hoping deep inside
She was there, I didnt want to be alone.
No one was there as I had predicted,
How did this happen to me?
Why of all people me?
Now all my plans for life were contradicted.
I tried to think back to what happened,
Trying to remember what went wrong,
I knew she wasnt coming back, I realized that, it didnt
take long.
Finally the clouds in my mind lifted...
***
I love you she whispered in my ear,
I love you too, now and forever.
She kissed me lightly, and I felt her shiver.
Its cold I muttered as I pulled her near.
My arm around her shoulder,
Her head resting near my neck,
I looked up at the road, noticing it was raining as I gave her a little
peck.
She loved me, and I loved her.
The rain drizzled lazily down, sliding off my car,
I turned a corner slowly,
I was always a careful driver. Always.
But I didnt see the lights. They were too far.
No...that wasnt it.
I didnt see any lights that night.
It was getting dark, you had to have a light.
But no. That car wasnt lit.
The last I saw was the SUV,
Large, sleek, and black,
It belonged to a bicyclist. Atop it a bike rack.
It swirved when it saw me.
I tried to turn as fast I could,
I jolted my love awake,
Be calm I was about to say, then there was quake.
The SUV was too big and pushed me aside into the woods.
We collided head on with those trees,
I lost consciouness then,
The last thing I remember is my girl smiling,
Saying shed always be there for me.
***
Im here now at her funeral,
Ive cried so many times,
Im hurting to bad right now, no one understands just how
much I really cared,
Its now time for her burial...
I stare one last time at the one
Who gave me so much love,
A departing angel from above,
The one I promised to love til I was gone.
Her chestnut hair is flowing across the casket, I've not seen her look
so solemn...not in a long while.
Shes wearing the dress she wore to our prom,
She has the bracelet I gave her on her arm,
And her rosey lips are in a gentle smile.
I lean over and lightly stroke her cheek,
A few more tears fall next to her face,
My right hand is tracing the lace of her dress,
I softly kiss her lips one last time before the priest
speaks.
The priest closes the casket lid slowly,
I hug myself tight as I feel the coldness
From my loves lips.
I fall on the floor of the church and sob, trembling
slightly.
My mom came over to me and hugged me tight,
I didnt need her sympathy,
She didnt even approve of my love and I,
I hated her so much...but I didnt want to fight.
Everyone walked out as the bearers carried her down,
I followed them, ahead of everyone there,
I felt the wind blow through my hair
As they set her down into the ground.
When everybody left,
And I was the only one still looking,
I pulled out a rose and kneeled down, saying,
Dont worry love...even when Im far away,
Ill never betray our love, itll be you and me, always.
No matter what,
One way,
Ill see you in heaven,
One day.
