One Last Time

[Kay MoonDawn]

Listening to you breathe -
I sit here next to the bed,
holding your hand,
praying to the gods above
for one last time.

I remember when you told me -
that you were dying,
my heart rang out in grief,
my best friend forever,
tears ran down my cheeks.

I squeeze your hand gently -
to let you know I'm here,
a soft, weak smile appears
your eyes slowly opening
staring at me as you breathe.

Softly I whisper to you -
"I'm here for you now,
I'm here for you forever."
As I see your eyes close
for one last time.

Your breath comes to an end -
as I hold your hand in min,
tears start running down my cheeks,
I pray one last time.
