(After
arguing and splitting up, this couple get back in touch.
They've only been apart for a while, but they've missed
each other so much.
He phoned to say that they should meet, get a coffee, just
sit and talk.
She needed to clear her head first so she decided not to
catch a cab,
but walk.)
This
is what happened...
The high
street was noisy, but her mind was somewhere quiet.
She
thought of buying a cake, forgetting about her diet.
She'd got thirty minutes till she was meeting him, she was
surprisingly calm.
She finally realised there was no point in causing each
other mental harm.
After buying her cake
and tucking in, she began to cross the street.
It was turning into a perfect day, the sun was
showering her with heat.
The cake was so soft,
full of cream, and everything seemed so nice.
Crossing
the street she simply forgot to look left and right.
The car
didn’t have time to stop, before ploughing into her
side.
People
stood around in shock, some of them even cried.
She
lay on the floor still breathing, but very badly hurt.
Somewhere
she could hear the twittering of a bird.
Her
body began to go numb, as the siren sound grew near.
She lay
their thinking of her love, her thoughts were very clear.
She
began to drift off, her breathing was very light.
Just
before she died her man came into sight.
------------------------
He had walked from the
car park, down the street where she lay.
He usually went a different route, but for some
reason he hadn’t today.
As he walked round the corner he
saw a crowd of people up ahead.
As he got closer he saw his love's
pretty face, not realising she was dead.
He couldn’t comprehend what had happened,
that couldn’t be her lying there.
They were meeting in twenty minutes, to tell
each other they still cared.
As the paramedics tried to save her, he collapsed to his
knees.
Eventually they decided to stop,
he begged them “Continue, please.”
A sheet was pulled over her face, she was lifted
onto an ambulance bed.
He got in beside
her, thinking of all the things they hadn’t said.
The drive to the hospital was slow, the thoughts were spinning
round his brain.
He
would never hear her laugh, or joke, or sing a song again.
They
had wasted the last few days, both had acted like fools.
But what had happened
just wasn’t fair, fate had been so cruel.
Now he would never be the same, his soul mate had been stolen
from his life.
He could never tell her that
he wanted her to be his lawfully wedded wife.
