Loved Thee truly;

On the edge of my death,

He confessed his love.

Totally in control of my fate

How could I have accepted love?

“Marry me.” He said,

Tears wailed down my eyes

The moment, impatiently awaited;

Was now before my eyes.

Getting mixed emotions of grief and joy,

Fearing the happiness which was coming;

Because I had little time on my hand

And to woo me, now, death was coming.

My face turned pale and heartbeats moved faster

“Not more than a month” the doctor announced,

Quick decisions were made by everyone around

“You are now man and wife” the priest announced.

One month of marriage and then darkness,

I asked him why he wishes this wish.

He smiled and replied, “one day or month or minute;

Fulfilling your last wishes is only my wish.”

The time lapsed soon,

I was passing the last phase,

How beautiful or bad it got carved out,

I didn’t care for my life for me was just a maze.

Even after years of separation.

He kept me alive in his memories and life

Moved on because of my promise;

But, considering only me as his wife.
