I listened as your breathing slowed, but you didnt know. I watched the life fade from your body, and i felt helpless, helpless. I stood glued to the ground beneath my feet, just knowing my life wasnt over still knowing I wanted to be with you. No one knew how I felt as I watched you die....its hard to believe I watched you die. I held your hand as your body went cold, I stood there with you as you started loosing feeling, and its all made me so numb. There's a pain deep within that stings, but I guess you didnt feel a thing. Ive cried every tear that I can cry, and ive spit my emotion out until im completely dried up, just a shell only barely breathing. no one understands, no one. You passed your ghost, eyes left wide open as i ran a hand over you face to close them, laying the sheet over your face. I wanted to shake you and make you wake up, but I knew you were gone, the breath gone from with in you. I fought back my tears and let go of your hand, but, not before they were ready to lay you in the ground, only then, did i let go
