I love you, you ,you....
She kept on muttering,
Tears spilling.
In the hospital bed,
I looked at her with caution,
I just stared,
I quirked my eyebrows,
I blinked my eyes,
Under the bedsheet I squirmed,
I do not know her from Adam,
Who is this stranger?
Why do I to her matter?
She looked at me with love,
Gazed at me tenderly like a dove,
She came closer,
Whisperd sorry words in my ears,
She hugged me tight,
I found it right.
That tender look
Those azure blue eyes
That familiar perfume,
The warm touch in that hug,
That lovely voice,
Something clicked,
At first the images blurred,
As she started to leave in distress,
I saw the diamond ring,
Everything became clear.
I had proposed,
The engagement
The last kiss under the moonlight.
She had landed a new job,
Better pay with all the perks,
A job she had wanted so much,
She would have to move.
She wanted to postpone the marriage,
I was adamant,
The ultimatum, me or job,
The fight,
The fatal accident.
I still loved her,
I called her name,a mere whisper,
She turned crying,
Came to me  running,
She was remorse,
She had refused the job,
My being in her life was more  important,
My absence would have shattered her,
We kissed, hugged and cuddled,
Shouted together,"I love you."
Our love was strong enough to survive the storm.She got another better offer very near home,easy to commute.We found a good house nearer her place of  work  and good school. We have a little girl and are very happy.
