The Day I Almost Died - Learning to Be Grateful
This poem is written for someone I love. I took him for granted because I thought that I would never lose him. But one day, it happened... I almost lost him forever.
I hope that through this, I could let him know that HE MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. I love him with all my heart.
I love you Bill.
THE DAY I ALMOST DIED
What a nightmare when I wake,
On the night that I almost break
I thought we'll always be together,
Never knew I could have lost you forever
I know I have conquered your heart
Like a thief in the silence of the night,
I treasured your heart as one of my stakes as a winner,
But I didn't treasured it like a good lover.
I've denied all of your warm thoughts,
Like I've denied all the championships I've fought
Because of my selfishness,
Inch by inch you're coming out of my nest
I realized how stupid I was
To have betrayed your pure heart
I broke my promises...
I broke your heart
You showed me how to be a loser,
Because of the heartaches I never consider
Then, I realized how precious you are,
Like the brightest star from afar
That I could even declare a war,
To death as the baddest czar
And yet, you showed me the way,
To forbid the funerals hey.
Now I promise to you my dear,
That you won't see any fear
For all of your love will be showered with cheer,
Just promise you'll always be near.
