I've always wanted to know how it would be like
To say the words, "I love you." before you die.
To be in that dire moment,
Those moments, just before death,
Protecting the one you love.
To see your moments with that person pass by
To see their face, to see you with them
To be together with that person all over again in just a single, fleeting moment.
And you'll wake up from that dream.
Reality is there and you see that person you love staring at you,
Tears trickling down their face and onto yours.
"I love you."
You tell them that, yet all they can muster up are more tears.
"I love you"
And all they say is, "Don't die."
I felt my hand reach up to his crying face.
Seemed so much more difficult that before.
I had never seen this side of him.
How i wished i could have stayed awake longer.
I chuckled when i heard him say, "Liux, Live, Dammit!"
It was hard to chuckle too.
My eyes refused to stay open.
My breathing started to fail me.
My heart was to a stop.
It was in that moment of chaos that i think
i think... i heard something
that made me know it was all worth it.
"I love you."
He said that.
This honest, heart-stricken, crying, tender side of his.
"I love you."
I think i managed to conjure up a smile.
It was easy. Not difficult like last time.
It was peace, this was peace.
I guess... Dying wasn't that bad after all.
