Don't Go

I wrote this for Minique before he died. I cry every time I read it.

I'm very proud to share it for the very first time.  :)

As time runs out
Aware that it's gone.

I know you can't
Stay for too long.

I know it hurts
To say 'goodbye.'

Please don't let go.
Just hold on tight.

I wait for you.
You wait for me.

I know this can't be
'Meant to be.'

This can't be
the way that you go.

I can't just...
let you go.

Don't take him now,
Oh God, I pray!

Please leave him here
For one more day.

You know I love you
I know you do.

So I'll let you go
If you do, too.

Now go to sleep
And close your eyes.

Just one last hug,
But no goodbye.

I'll see you when
My time comes, too.

And hopefully,
It's not too soon.

I promised you
I wouldn't cry,

But you know
That I can't lie.

I take that back;
Instead I'll say,

"I'll have you with me everyday."
