I can't breathe

When I saw you in the hospital, it was like my lungs were rejecting the oxygen in the room. You were so still, and pale, and I kept waiting for you to wake up. Everything had happened so  fast, and I didn't have time to react. I saw my mother's hands around yours, and then everyone was hugging me. I couldn't think, I couldn't express anything. I sat down, and a blanket of shock covered me. I couldn't look away, you were so pale, so unnatural. My mind was shut down, and all i could do was feel. Everything told me that this wasn't real, that this wouldn't happen. But there you were. Even now I forget that you're gone, I mean I put a rose on your casket, I should realize that you won't come back. I just never thought this would happen.
