the last day

dedicated to my source of inspiration – thank you

 

“What would you do, if you knew, today was your last day to live?” he asked.

“I would live” she said.

She stepped outside, to where the trees were shedding their last leaves

every falling leaf, took away another memory

And as her eyes slowly closed;

right under her favorite birch

she heard her favorite funeral song

and for the last time, she saw the face of the man she had always loved

A single tear found a lonely trail down her cheek

He didn’t know what she knew

her broken heart could never be fixed.

She had never told him “I love you”

Later that night,

he found her lifeless body, leaning against her favorite birch

even his most shattering scream, was not able to bring her back

It was the night his heart broke and would never be fixed.

He had never told her “I love you”

He sank to the ground and held her close

a single tear found a trail down his cheek

resolved, that tomorrow would be his last day to live
