I can still remember the first time you said I love you
The sweetness that rolled off your tongue as you said it
“I LOVE YOU”
The joy I felt had made me forget any sorrow
I've felt in my entire life
“I LOVE YOU”
Nothing felt as good as when my heart responded
“I LOVE YOU TOO”
We thought we would last an eternity
A Happy ever after love story
Like the ones you read in the children's books
Then something came between us
Tore us apart as if we were never supposed to become one
Separated us as if we were never supposed to exist
It’s their fault
Cancer, they say
All four opinions with that same homewrecker name
Cancer
It's too far progressed they said
There can't be a you and I they meant
No problem slips out of my lips
As I prepare for our Shakespeare ending?
Shall I give us a Romeo and Juliet ending?
That way we can only hope that we meet again in death
Should I
Take my last breath when you take yours?
Will I
Be strong enough to continue Alone?
For I still remember when you first said
“I LOVE YOU”
And my heart answered back
“I LOVE YOU TOO”
So, I ask again
Will I be strong enough to continue on without you?
