My lover.

by Roberto Hernandez   Apr 16, 2012


At Age six, He loved her so
And everyday, He'd let her know

"I love you Grace" he'd say each day
She'd just laugh and run away

Till one day, she turned around
And sat with him, on the playground

"I'm sorry Chris, I don't love you
You'll find someone else, who loves you too"

High school came, they met again
They laughed about the things back then

They began to date and fell in love
He got the girl, that he'd dreamed of

But when college came, everything changed
They were far apart, with lives rearranged

"We'll be fine Grace" but she had doubt
She turned and said "It won't work out"

"I'm sorry Chris, I can't love you
You'll find someone else who loves you too"

In their twenties, they met again
They laughed about the things back then

He took her hand, they began to dance
Remembering their old romance

Two years later, she became his wife
They'd be together, all of their life

They went on a drive, when it was no longer light
They drove down the roads, of the starry night

The music came on, she started to sing
He whispered, "Grace You're my everything"

But then suddenly, in one big flash
Headlights shone, as their car crashed

He saw her laying, down on the ground
He felt his tears, start rolling down

"Grace..." he cried, she took his hand
"I have to leave... Please understand"

"I love you so much, it's always been true
But you'll find someone else and you'll love again too"

"No," he cried, "It's always been you
I don't want someone else, I only want you"

And there on that street, is where he cried
Hugging his love as she slowly died
