Last moments

There was a glow on her face even when she was dying ...

There was no remorse ...

but the candles blew off ...

and the flowers stopped blooming...

and the wind stopped flowing...

I screwd up ..she said...still at the deathbed ...

i am sorry she said ..with a drop of tear in her eyes..

and then she said with a smile on her lips ....i am not afraid ....

to go ..to go beyond ...

i was there ..looking at her ..looking at her face ...

stunned ...thinking how can she smile ...

at the face of death...

she gave me a piece of paper...

you wont understand ..she said..probably knowing what i was thinking...

i was holding her in my arms ...

but not a drop of tear came from my eyes ...

i dont know why ..

why her death was making me tougher...

and then i saw her close her eyes ...

bidding a last goodbye....

to me and to the rest of the world...

and there came the tears that i was trying to hold ...

falling on her beautiful face ...

hoping she would open her eyes and smile through those lovely lips...

but she never did ...

still holding her ...i felt her for the last time..

and then i moved away from her ...

still looking at her ...

i felt like throwing up...

why her..i asked ...

there was no reply...

and then i saw her crumbled piece of paper still in my hands...

i opened it slowly not knowing what it was ...

Smile Please ...it said

And i did just that...
