I quickly scrambled to her side.
She made no sound; Tears filled my eyes.
I embraced her limp body and asked God
"Why?" If she could live, I'd gladly die.
I felt her pulse becoming weak.
My tears came hard; I couldn't speak.
To my surprise, she feebly reached
And wiped the teardrops from my cheek.
I grabbed her hand and held it tight
And told her that she'd be all right.
Though in my heart, I knew tonight
Would mark the ending of her life.
I told her true love's hard to find
And let her know that she was mine.
She smiled and kissed me one last time
Then died and left this world behind.
