Two friends
Since they could remember
Anything went wrong
Who
What
Where
When and
Why
Would always be the words to say when
Upset
Angered
Depressed
Beyond excited and
Whenever they just wanted to talk
As time flew
His love grew for her
Never told her
But did things for her
She never forgot all he did
Graduation came
Summer flying by
College nearing
He went west
She chose South
She grew sick second semester
Sicker and sicker
Went home
To the doctor
The news hit harder than a first break up
She called him
He dropped out
Went to her aid
He asked her
Who
What
Where
When
Why
She told him
Who would be cancer
What is exactly what I said
Where my lung
When I called you was when I found out
Why is what I am still asking
He let out thousands of raindrops
She couldn’t say anything
But join him
Months flew and
Wasn’t getting better
He asked her
“Is there anything you want to do before?”
She stopped him right there
“Don’t say it”
“I want to marry and have a family
Kids
And grow old”
He never told her that he had a ring
He got down right there
She choked
But got out yes
Months went by
Her disease was a rollercoaster
But years went by
And one day
A chance to say goodbye
Was a one way
Not realizing months Later cleaning up
He found her letter
Broke down one last time
For her
His love never grew old
