my eyes are open
I see you here
but I can't speak
the room seems to go on forever
I feel like I'm falling
but you reached out and held my hand
your face full of tears
but I turn away
needles are in my arm
monitors are beeping
my heart felt like it was going to burst
I realize I can't move
I close my eyes
but I feel your hands tracing my face
I open my eyes
I turn my head
my eyes are slowly closing
I listen to my heart beats
they seem so weak
you are speaking desperately
but I closed you out
I feel warmness on my lips
I return it
the glow from it traveled throughout my body
my eyes still closed
I felt drops of water on my cheek
I open my eyes
seeing you over me
your bangs and hair parted by your ears falling on my lips
I reached my hand out to touch your face
You seemed so surprised
I was shock myself
you smiled and then hugged me
I pointed to a pen and paper on a desk
you let go of my hands to get it
You gave the pen to me and grapsed it in my hand
you held my hand to me again
not perfectly with the pen, I wrote on the paper
1-4-3 i wont say gb 'cuz well meet again
I handed the paper to you
then I closed my eyes
I didn't want you to see my tears
my heart's fading
one last breath
the moniter beeped in a line
I won't say goodbye to you
I promised
because...
I couldn't go on...
if it I did.
