You’re my baby,
I love you more than life itself,
You’re my world, my everything,
Till that day in late January,
We said our last goodbye,
Without knowing that we would part for good,
Our paths as us alive would never cross again,
When I got that call,
The one i won’t forget,
Telling me to get to hospital,
Not knowing what would lie in store for me ahead,
You lay there on the bed,
Looking like you but not being you,
Oh my baby,
I cried rivers of tears for you that night,
Never left your side for a moment,
How could you have been so stupid, I asked you?
To get on that motorbike,
The one that took you from me that cold January night,
I sat next to you, holding your hand,
Stroking your cheek over and over again,
When the doctor came towards me,
With that solemn look on his face, I knew,
Your short but fulfilled life was about to be snatched away,
By the flick of a switch,
I asked for my last five minutes with you,
To say my last goodbye,
I asked you to forgive me for all our bad times,
I lost count of how many time I told you that I loved you,
I didn’t want you to leave me on my own,
When the doctor came back,
I begged, pleaded with him not to switch it off but he had to,
They never gave you a chance did they?
I held you when the switch clicked off,
I listened as the machines stopped,
I watched your chest rise and fall,
I filled with hope that you would survive,
I held you closer and I knew you didn’t want to leave,
But then I whispered softly in your ear,
“I love you more than life itself but its time for you to go now and I know we will meet again soonâ€
Your breathing slowed then stopped,
I sobbed my heart out; I have never felt so much pain till I lost you that day,
I went home cold and empty,
Missing you forever but never forgetting you,
My Baby
