Dec 2014
As I woke up on that dreadful morning,
Not knowing what fate had in store for me,
I let the wedding air envelope around me.

The bridal glow was on me,
I could feel it in my cheeks.
I could feel it in my smile,
In my walk and in my talk.

My mobile rang, and all that was lost.
A siren echoed behind and a voice spoke.
He's injured, you need to hurry
He said, and that's all I remember.

I raced down the lanes,
Tripping on sticks and stones.
I reached the hospital just in time,
To say my final goodbye.

As I reached for his hands he said,
You'll find another person, promise me that.
For my sake, don't die alone.
And saying that he left me all alone,
To live my life with one heart beat, that was supposed to be two.

And the ring on my hand felt heavier,
It felt damp with blood, his blood.
I still look at it and see his limp body
Against mine, how I reached on time,
But was too late.
