Love You This Way

I still remember the first day when we met
The first magical sigh that you gave 
The young beautiful girl I first met
Is now old sleeping on this hospital bed

Dear, do you remember the  promises we made
Please get alright cos it can't be made on this bed
The doctor comes in and has his say
Raising a hope by saying not to worry cos there's a way

Looking at your wrinkled face
Ageing for sure is a curse to human race

I am looking around at the machines that are set
Trying to understand but nothing's going to my head
The beeps and the peeps that they make
It scares me so I stay awake

Will you ever laugh again?
I'm scared cos you are in utmost pain
I wish I could share your pain a bit
Nothing much for me except to sit

I have questions in my mind to make
And I have tears ready to break
Please don't leave me for heaven's sake
We have our pending dreams to make

We got to make that foreign trip
And enjoy the exotic brew's every sip
So dear , give your best to get out that drip

If you plan to leave my hand 
And make journey to that unknown land
Just remember that I would be left alone
And soon be turned into a stone

Just be strong and face the storm
And come back in a healthy form
Aspirin, Rantac, Statins working all the time
Something wrong happens
I am going to commit a crime

Darling come back to me
We've got our grandchildren to see
I have nothing much left to say
But remain still, quiet and pray
