I grow older
by the minute he
told her, in a tender voice.
The doctor says it wont be
long, but I don’t have the choice.
You know I want to be with you,
my darling as soon as I can.
You’ll always be my sweetheart
and I’ll always be your man.
At night he would sometimes
be watching the star's trajectory.
He would be lying on the empty
plot beside her at the cemetery
It didn’t matter if clouds bathed
in sunshine or if it rained instead.
His gravestone was ready for the
future. Together Again it read.
This month seemed like an eternity as he sat beside her empty chair.
His eyes no longer sparkled, now his soul mate was no longer there.
His love for her was more than a myriad of stars in the sky.
He knew she was watching over him, so he dared not to cry.
He took flowers from their garden to her every single day.
Up to the hillside and by her gravestone, the roses he would lay.
