I Want(ed) You to Know

You were a fighter

And you fought for as long as you could.

When you lay in the hospital,

hooked up to machines,

hardly awake

Barely breathing

I wanted you to know that I loved you...

I loved you like Rose DeWitt-Bukater loved Jack Dawson.

I loved you like Leia Organa loved Han Solo.

I loved you like Anne Shirley-Cuthberg loved Gilbert Blythe.

I loved you like Hazel Grace Lancaster loved Augustus Waters.

I loved like Elizabeth Bennet loved Mr Darcy.

I know you loved me

and I loved, no love you,

People may pass but love never dies.
