You'Re Gone 1-8-09

you were supposed to stay forever you were supposed to tell me of the war you were supposed to come to my wedding but you won't be... you left... I didn't want you to... but the cancer got you... and you left... they should have found it earlier... but they ran all the wrong tests and they couldn't find it... not til it was too late... so the cancer ate away at you... it ate and ate and ate... there was nothing to be done all there was to be done was to wait... so we did. we waited, and waited, and waited... we waited less than a month... the longest month of my life... until January 24, 2008, around 3 a.m. she woke up and found you dead... and now you're gone... no matter how bad I want you to be here... You're Gone...
