We meet again on a cold September night
You had someone else with you, and her eyes were burning holes in my face from her stares
"Hi, it's nice to see you." You say to me
A sincere smile forms on your lips
You let go of her hand and wrap your arms around me
Your scent fill my lungs, and I swallow the lump in my throat
I stand still, enjoying what I knew would be a short embrace
She fake coughs, and looks the other way
You let go of me, and notice my stillness
Your smile drops, and your eyes fleet to the ground
You're everything I've ever wanted and so much more
I wipe my tears, "I'm so happy for your engagement. I knew you'd find the one."
Your hand is grabbed by hers again
Her skinny pale hand holds yours so perfectly
Maybe in a way mine never would
Her ring sparkles in my direction
The ring that could have been mine  

You fall on your knees, and sob in your hands
And put a heavy hand on my gravestone
If only you could see my true ghost form
I'm crying, tears that resemble those of an Angel's
Hitting the ground with sad melody

I used to be the love of his life
Before cancer took me away

"I want you to be happy, even if it's with someone else." I told him during the few left moments on my death bed.
"I'll never love anyone else. I love you. I'll always love you." He sobbed, and rested his wet face on my cold hand.
"I'm so sorry. I wish we could have the life we always wanted. Kids, marriage, travel.." He quickly interrupted me, "It's not your fault. Don't you dare say it's your fault."
Reality hit me then: I realized I couldn't control my death
The machine that monitored my heart date suddenly decreased into almost a straight line
The panicked nurses fill the room, and quickly tell him he has to leave
He begs them to let him stay
But is unsuccessful in convincing
I smile at him, and mouth "I love you"
And he sobs out loud,"I love you more. I'll see you soon. You'll be okay."
He nurses all huddled around me, trying to delay my death
But I knew what was coming
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"  I exclaim, tears flowing down my face
I wanted to marry him, to have children with him, to travel the world by his side, to tell him I love him every single day, to cook for him and to feel happiest by his side..
But it all ended at that moment.


You then put your other hand on my gravestone, and I snap back to reality, away from that upsetting flashback
"I can't do this, I can't marry you." You say looking up at your fiancé, clutching the gravestone as if it would bring me back to life.
The girl's eyes narrow, and sadness fills her eyes
And after a short moment, her face turns mean
"She died when you were both 19, and you're still not over her?! She's gone. She's never coming back. But I'm here, and I'm not going to die." She angrily folds her arms.
You continue to sob, shaking your head.
Her anger turns into fury. "Fine, you can be with your precious little dead girlfriend." And throws her engagement ring at you
I bring my hand out to catch it, and it goes right through my ghostly hand
She turns on the ***** of her feet, and heads for the parking lot
Then turns back around and kicks my grave
"I hope she's in Hell." She flips you the *******, and leaves again

You fix my grave, and clench your teeth
"I wish you were here."
You sit cross legged in front of my grave, and I sit in front of you
"What a keeper," I put a hand up to clean your tear
And you put the ring in front of me
"You'll always be my wife, the love of my life. No one can replace you. I love you."
This is based on a dream I had  couple of nights ago.
