Her fairytale ending (about cancer)

She said she didn't know what love really was
he said he didn't know if his feelings were only lust.
She couldn't exactly tell him what her feelings really were
he couldn't really describe how he seemed to love her.
She didn't really know what her tale's ending would be
and he couldn't really tell her hes been living his lately.
She knew he was her one and that was for sure
He knew he'd only love her and thats the way things were.
She stayed by him through the good and the bad
He treated her with care, like no one ever had.
Time went on and passed by day
Together forever they promised they would stay.
She mentioned she was old but she'd stay forever young
He told her he'd always be there with the rasp of one lung.
She knew something was wrong for it lingered in her side
He couldn't really tell her pain for his eyes were becoming blind.
she knew she was in some pain but she didn't say a word
he should never know cause that to her would be absurd.
she kept herself strong and kept him by her side
He heard her at night, the silence of her cry.
time passed on and did as it does
she ended up with cancer; she didn't know of its cause.
He knew something was wrong that she was not the same
She confessed to him and cried out all her pain.
He told her not to worry, that he would take good care
She told him she was happy as long as he was there.
He took her hand in his and touched her pretty face
She took a deep breath and walked with a queasy pace.
the hours passed and so did the days
the doctors would come and repeat "she stays"
He stayed in her room right by her side
She would whisper to him "please just stay the night"
Older he grew, his heart alone
She stayed quite sick mostly skin and bone.
a month did pass, a year with it too
he knew not much longer, he knew he knew.
She called for him and in he came
He smiled to her but to him she'd always be the same.
She mentioned a little phrase something they'd both said
he smiled with intention, he knew where this lead.
She said she didn't know what love really was
He said he didn't know if his feelings were only lust
She told him she loved him and thats the way things were
He grabbed her with a kiss and said he'll always love her.
