Marry me
I said with the broadest smile
As violins and cellos played in the background
I on my knees
She started to cry
As she knelt down too
And held my face in her hands and held my face in her hands and said
"I can't marry you"
"Please don't do this to me
You said you loved me too"
"Shreds i love you with all my heart
But i can't do this to you"
"Do what" i asked
But she dashed out of the restuarant
And left me on my knees
My world crashed that day
I remember when she walked up to me
And said "hello am hellen"
She was the most beautiful thing av seen
I need to know why
I tried calling but she never picked
Text her but no reply
Visit but not around
And then i gave up
Why did do this
I remember we playing in the snow
Our crazy pillow fights
Our intense love making
And when i decided to move on
She started calling
Texting and sending letters
But i had to move on so i ignored her and suddenly she stopped
So i decided to delete all her pictures
Erased all text without reading it
I was burning all her letters
Until curiously i decided to read the last one
"Dear shreds" it said
"This may be the last letter i write
Am dying
And i dont know how long i've got"
I froze "dying"??
"I love you with all my heart
But i couldnt let you suffer too
I have stage 4 lung cancer
I just wanted to protect you from hurting
Now i see i had no right to choose for you
Nor protect you from me
Cuz all yoy ever wanted was me
I was scared of you watching me die"
I closed the letter and ran out
To the hospital address on the letter
"Where is helen" i screamed at a nurse
And she pointed an empted bed
"She passed away last night
She always talked about a guy named shreds
And made me write letters to him but he never cared nor replied
All she wanted was for him to hold her one last time, she died with his name on her lips" the nurse said
I knelt down and weeped
This time not proposing but wishing
I see the signs clearly now
But its was already too late...
I opened the letter to finish reading it
hearts don't break around here by Ed sheeran playing in the background
"Shreds, i hope one day you'll forgive me
And live hapily without me
I will always love you
GOODBYE dear
