She is the sparkles in his eyes,
and the reason his smile never dies;
she is the beating of his heart,
you'll almost never see them apart.
When they walk through the halls together,
they know their love would last forever;
so young, so innocent, so pure,
yet of their love, they are so sure.
Neither could have guessed their fate,
of that exact night, after their date.
On his motorcycle, he is taking her back,
he noticed something, but it was too late to backtrack.
He doesn’t know what to do, but he had to pick.
He suddenly says, "Give me a kiss, real quick."
She kisses him softly, without a clue why,
I wonder, if she knew, how she would reply.
"Take my helmet and put it on," he says immediately,
she gives a puzzling look, then takes it obediently.
She still doesn't know exactly what was going on,
she just trusts him and knows he wouldn't do her wrong.
She wakes up in the hospital, and all she can do is cry
as they tell her what happened when she asks why.
His breaks broke, and he knew she would be dead,
but he gave her his helmet and he died instead.
But still, many years later, to this very day,
she is waiting for the angels to come take her away;
she knows he'll be waiting, as she flies into the skies,
with the same smile on his face and sparkles in his eyes.

Oh, wow. This is just so amazing, and so sad! I love it, definitely the best I've read so far today. The rhyme is great, the flow's brilliant and the rhythm works. It's great. Definitely one of the best I've read in a while. I love the story and I love the way you told it. I hate the suspense I got when I was reading it, because the reader knows what's going to happen before she does! It's great. Really, really good.
