Gazing at the night sky,
My emotions become turbulent.
Those feelings of the last time we kissed overwhelm me.
The seashells on the beach were mirroring the starry night,
And her hand was tightly holding mine.
It felt like I had it all.
But maybe it wasn't meant to be after all.
Hugging me close she started crying,
I have cancer she said faintly.
Myriad of emotions flush my mind,
All the good times we had started flashing before my eyes.
Trying to be strong I said, it will all be okay
But her disconsolate eyes made me think the other way.
Everything happens for the better as they speak,
Then why is God punishing me like this?
Kissing her I said, "We'll get through this together"
How I wish it was me and not her.
Gazing at the night sky a star is scintillating,
Would we make a good constellation I wonder as I feel myself ascending
