It Happened
This day plays over and over in my mind
It'll stay with me until the day I die
On the highway looked up
Dark gray clouds closing in
On the radio Social Distortion comes on
“Reach for the Sky because tomorrow may never COME..”
Thought to myself, better get there fast
This song might be over in time for her spirit to pass
Still thirty minutes to go
Cars gotta go faster, gotta roll
Reach the hospital and walk fast as I can
I'd like to run but strangers pass so I cant
I enter the crowded room
I stand in the corner,
I look at her in the bed.
In so much pain, her body is trembling from head to toe
Then IT happened,
She asked for him
He bent down and filled her arms with his hug
Her upper body slightly off the bed as he tried to relieve her pain
For the first time in my life I saw my brother experience true love
I could see the particles of air above their heads exchanging loving thoughts
He thought” It'll be ok, you can let go”
She thought” It's just so hard because I love you sooo”
He thought”I love you baby, god is calling you home”
She said “ No need to call. I'll watch over you. When you arrive I'll know”
It was by far the most overwhelming emotion ever
Beyond control
I could no longer see,
The tears just poured
I think a ghost put it's hand down my throat,
And then used my heart as a stress relief ball...
Cancer was the boxer giving my heart a beat
The pain was the ying
as the love was to yang
Two people in love,
In a world that can be so untrue,
I'm so glad my loved one found you!
