Dying For A Love That Couldve Been PartII:Ill Love Her Til I Die

Alone in the cemetery,
he placed a flower on her grave.
Soon to join the wilting pile
from long passed yesterdays.

He reached into his pocket
standing over where she lay,
and pulled out a folded paper
that for all this time he'd saved.

He'd had his share of heartache,
it took a lot to make him cry.
But rereading words from her suicide
caused tears to fill her eyes.

When he was finished reading
he looked up to the sky,
though it was long ago
when he gave up asking why.

But still he began to speak,
as if this girl could hear.
Just as he'd done everyday
for the past two years.

"You said you loved me.
You said you cared.
So then why'd you go
and leave me here?

Years have passed me by,
and still I visit everyday.
Ever since the day you died,
I just can't find my way.

I'm coming, my girl, I'll see you soon
but this is not goodbye.
Neither is it a hello,
and I can tell you why.

I don't believe we'll meet in heaven,
I've had trouble with the fact,
that you were taken from me
so on God I've turned my back.

But I'm joining you nonetheless
into the never ending sleep.
No longer need I be content
with the memories I keep.

This is the last time that I'll visit,
but a part of me will never leave.
I should have told you that I love you,
you mean everything to me."

As dark falls a life is lost,
and with the morning light,
they found just an empty body
clinging to her headstone for dear life.

His death mirrored how he'd been
years ago with her alive,
Inseparable where until the end,
he stayed right by her side.

That night the two were reunited
and he left only this for a goodbye:
a note they found that only said
"I'll love her 'til I die."

So with his death brought to an end
the turmoil of these two teens.
With too much irony around the two
dying for a love that could have been.
