A Dying Lover

A Dying Lover Note
As the car made contact with my fragile body,
all our memories passed by my eyes.
I didn't think about the pain.
I thought about the things I would miss:

My High School graduation,
getting married, having children
And then, I thought about you.
Your smile, your soft hair,
the sound of your laugh.

All of that would be gone,
out of my reach,
but the memories will never fade
I will never forget you.

You will eventually move on,
but all I ask from you,
is remember me.
Remember our good times,
and remember our bad times
Remember our fights, and
remember our apologies.

My body lands in a heap on the side walk.
Blood forms a pool around me.
I hear screams from all directions.
The car swerves and hits a tree.
The driver, injured and clearly intoxicated, stumbles out of the car to my side. ?

After what feels like century ,
I come to my senses
Brief images are played like a movie.
People are yelling
as ambulances arrive on scene.
I formed a lump in the back of my throat,
when I saw that you weren't there.
The pain of the accident sank in, and
I quietly cried out in pain.

My Mother rested my head on her lap as she silently wept.
A car tore down the road and stopped by one of the ambulances.

Out you stepped of car and my slowing heart skipped a beat.
Before you could get to my body,
a paramedic stopped you and said something I could not hear.
You ran past him to my
side and knelt down.
Tears streamed down your face.

I love you,? You choked.
I could feel myself being lifted up onto the stretcher.
You took hold of my hand,
and kissed me on my bloody lips.
I looked you straight in the eyes and
said,
I love you too?,
but it only came out as a whisper.
Doctors all around me rushed,
but it was as if they were in slow motion.

I realised that my final seconds were passing.
I gripped your hand and said,
?Don't forget me?, as my heart beat it's last time.
