But, I decided I'd go with a poem thing I wrote. It's my fear that this will happen to me. I do not want it to though.
The End
September 10, 2008
A shout and a whimper were heard a mile away. I go running towards you. I know it was you, I know your voice. My heart stopped, it cried out for you. I felt your pain, I sensed your fear. I got there just in time. You were in pain; I couldn’t bear to see you so. It hurt me to see your beautiful face stained with tears that never stopped falling. I wanted to take away the pain, take away your hurt. I wanted to make you better, to make you safe. You told me you weren’t afraid because I got there just in time. I held your hand telling you you’ll be alright. I had to hold back my tears, I had to be strong. Because for you my friend, all hope was gone. I knew enough to know that you couldn’t be fixed. A pool of blood surrounded your head. You were hit by the car that should’ve stopped to let you pass. A crowd has formed; mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. It’s the loudest silence you’ve ever heard you said. I’m trying to be strong, but you sense my pain. You know what’s going to happen. You just tell me to keep looking at you, to keep talking to you. You’re giving me your last wish to tell your mother and father that you love them. You’re about to tell me something but as you open your mouth, you start to gasp. You cannot breathe. There’s nothing for me to do. I hold you close to my heart as you take your last breath. You are gone and I never got the chance to say “I love you.”
I see you on the ground
Your beautiful silhouette
I couldn’t believe you were there
Because I haven’t seen you in more than a year
You saw me and called my name
I ran over to be by your side
You asked me if you were okay
But the car that hit you had gotten away
I could not lie to you
But I could not say the truth
I saw all the blood
I knew you should be in pain
But you could not feel a single thing
You saw the sadness in my eyes
And you knew it was near the end
But as I sat there holding your hand
You would not let me think anything bad
You said that you’re okay
And that you’d watch over me
But there was so much I wanted to say
I didn’t want you to go away
You wanted me to give your family your best
And as you were laying on the ground
With your beautiful tear-stained face
It was hard for you to make a sound
And as I asked you what you wanted
You were gasping for air and I knew it was the end
Your lips were moving, forming soundless words
But I knew what you were saying
I did not need to hear the words
And as we were there together at last
We saw the crowd
We heard the sirens blasting
But you looked into my eyes for the one last time
And as I held you to my breast
I felt you finally go and rest
You left before my words have been said
The ones of “I love you, my very best friend”.
