I don't do this often, but I think I'm going to start. :)

I whispered softly in your ear,

“I love you with all my heart.”

You are slowly dying,

But you reply “I love you too.”

I knew you fought for me,

And this country.

But in the end,

I know you will die.

“I know you fought for everyone,

And you fought hard,

I will have all my love,

For you still in my heart,

I just wanted to let you know,

Before your eyes close for the final time,

That you were the only one for me,

And losing you is hard,

But darling,

I will make sure your memory holds on.”

In reply you say,

“I love you,

And you know I will love you,

Even though I’m gone,

I’m growing weaker and weaker,

With each second,

But your lovely voice,

Will be the last thing I see,

…Before….I pass..on.”

Soon after that your eyes closed forever,

And I knew I would keep your memory,

Before I die,

But I won’t let myself die,

From suicide,

Because you wanted me to live,

Even when you were gone,

And I won’t break a promise I made to you.

“Just remember I love you always.”

I whisper and hold you in my arms,

For the last time.

For your first try, it's really good!

I can imagine a woman reading this at her husband/son's funeral after he's served in the military. Its a sad write, but it's true as well.
