I Love You With Every Breathe

One Day changed the fate of 2 children and yet, those two lives never left those 2 children. They were always there...

It was only Autumn

Nothing more than me and my husband

He was holding a branch of cherry blossoms

I was laughing with my feet in the cold stream

He smiled until a piercing noise shot through the mountains

All I knew was him falling forwards 

All I knew was me leaving

Baby please wake up

I held my hand on his chest

I could paint a canvas

He held my hand and spoke so gentle

"Listen to me darling

Hold on to what you have

I love you with every breath"

He pulled me to him and kissed me

"I love you with every breath"

He placed my hand on his 

Never give up

Those words rung in my ears

It was so bright 

And the words were all blurred

The voices telling me my husband wasn't responsive

It hit me like freight train

They pulled me up and was dragging me to the room

-Please mam, it may be your last chance-

I forced a smile and raced over to the bed side and grabbed his hand

I sung him a sweet melody

*You never smiled*

*Until  that mile*

*You held on for me*

*Don't ever flee*

*I need you here*

*With every tear*

I broke down and kissed his cheek

The monitor beeped

I cried and the nurses pulled me out

So many hours passed

Finally, someone appeared

"I am so sorry to bring you this news

Your husband

We couldn't get a heartbeat"

That was the end of me

I broke down and for hours 

I didn't move

Soon though

I gathered myself and walked through those gloomy doors

I heard that faint whisper

"I love you with every breath"

I knew it was him

I smiled and headed home

I had a daughter and son to take care of

I couldn't bear the thought of telling them

That their Pa isn't coming home

They never thought

Neither did I 

Before I left my car

I screamed for him

I wanted him back

I just smiled and walked inside

Gosh so many years have passed

Everyday I see his face

I hear those words

"I love you with every breath"

I missed him so much

The twins don't dare mention the thought of Pa

They miss him so much

They were so young

I pulled out the letter I had gotten

On it was in cursive, From John

It can't be

That's my husbands name

I pulled the letter out

*Listen to me darling

Hold on to what you have

I love you with every breath"

He said that to me everyday

In my dreams

In the house

He wasn't gone

I smiled

"I love you with every breath John"

A sense of someone touching me took my breath away

John

"I love you with every breath"

Ma was so true to Pa

Never once complained

Everyday she got letters

All from Pa

But he was gone

And now Ma was too

Me and my brother stayed together

We get letters from Ma and Pa

They never left us 

They still are here

They still love us

They never gave up

Why did they both get in a wreck?

Why did that man hit Ma and Pa?

We missed them so much

We love you with every breath....

Very powerful. I could feel your emotions and your word choice was phenomenal.

Thank you so much!

[West Lake Angel]

Impressive, thought-provoking, and so sad! There's a lot of emotion in those words. Great job.

[Starr]

Thank you so much, I wrote this soon after my dad left the hospital. The doctors looked at us and told me that he wouldn't live much longer if he didn't change his life. Thanks again.

[West Lake Angel]

I hope your dad is okay now!

[Starr]

He is thank you!
