The Walk To Remember

Landon Carter- The Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks


I sit right in front of her and watch her lovely smile,
Can’t stand to let her go out of my sight, even for a while..

I was a different person back when we both were apart,
But changed to a better person ever since she entered my lonely heart.

At the start I didn’t realize; this wasn’t love at first sight,
But gradually developed feelings, she was my Ms.Right.

Then the days followed were magical to me until she said that she is to die.
And ran away, left me there all by myself, to cry.

Well, I didn’t let her go, was determined to help her through
Her biggest struggle, by making all her dreams come true.

We had a secret wish in common which contained an important decision of life.
I expressed to her, I’d be the happiest man alive if she accepted to be my wife.

This summer we were the happiest couple, she filled me with lifelong love and care,
So that I could get along with the priceless memories when physically she’d no longer be there.

Though had kept her close to my heart and made sure to harm her no one would dare,
When you know, so hard it is to control your emotions that your love has not much time left in this world to spare.

Now I sit beside her, her last moments, praying and trying to keep her from strain.
Held her hand and expressed my love until no longer she felt the pain…

Four long years pass by with pace ever since, I know every day she watches me from above,
And all I do when I miss her is close my eyes and feel her love.
