as I lay here on my death bed
I'd like to say to you, my love
that you will always have me
even as my last cold breath
fades away from this earth
and as my heart slows
I have a request of you
if you could,
tell those that I have failed
that I meant them no harm
and if you could,
let them know that
I hold them dear to my heart
and if only you could,
tell them what my last words were
just for my sake
tell them all
no matter who
just tell them
that I love you
with all my heart
always and forever
now that my pulse is gone
and i take that dreaded last breath,
know that no matter what
I...
love...
you......

Author notes
something that i would definitely say. to the person i love, and they know who they are, i would say this to you. and to my friends, this is what i would you all to know. i love you guys. all of you. but there is only one person who can have my heart, and they already do.
