"Promise me you won't ever leave me."
"I'd never leave you alone babe."
"Promise John?"
"I promise Jess."
A promise kept,
is a sacred bond.
I miss our conversations,
sharing our views on life.
"Jess!"
"Oh God John, what happened?
Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want you to see me like this."
"Like what? You are still the same guy,
no matter how you look."
I never thought how empty I'd be,
one day your here.
And then you say goodbye,
I couldn't hear those words.
"The doctors say its not good."
"Well they are just not seeing its ok,
you will pull through."
"Jess they say I should say my goodbyes-"
"NO YOU DON'T!
You're going to be fine John!"
Doctors never seem to give us hope,
but it is all for the best.
They gave you time to say goodbye to me,
and that you loved me.
"Jess-I have a question for you,
but please don't just say it for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Marry me Jess, become my wife."
"John- yes. YES! I'll become your wife!"
A happy moment like that,
I knew it would only be just that.
The machines chimed and alarmed,
telling us you had passed.
"John? JOHN!"
I promised you our marriage,
and I knew it was fair.
Because all those years back,
you promised to never leave me alone.
And I'm not alone,
but I'm still missing you.
Author notes
I wrote this because I have this thing about cancer. Its horrible, and cruel. Taking loved ones, but sometimes ppl pull through and live on a cancer survivor. Well this is for those who didn't pull through, it has nothing to do with me or my family. And if u see any mistakes plz point them out. ^_^
