I still remember that day
I saw your smile gleam
and your long brown hair flow
in the warm Hawaiian breeze
The ocean pushed
those pretty shells to the shore.
I heard your sweet laughter
when you saw that little blue butterfly
land on my nose
I had never seen your beautiful,
big brown eyes
filled with so much
happiness
and wonder
I sat there just watching you,
dance in the glow
of the sunset
You leaned down
and whispered to me
“my love for you is never ending”
and I smiled
Suddenly,
this world went dark.
The warm breeze turned cold
and your eyes filled
with tears
It had taken over your body
and locked you inside.
It was a constant battle every day
but your smile kept growing bigger
and your faith never faded away
This thing had pulled out your hair
and wore you down.
I felt helpless as I watched you slowly
fade away…
All I could do was scream
“let go of her”
And one day,
it did.
Tears rolled down your cheeks
As you placed your ring on my finger
and whispered
“my love for you is never ending”
and I smiled
I watched as you drifted away
with that blue butterfly,
in the warm
Hawaiian breeze.

Why does God always take the best people from us far too soon?
