| This was a song a husband wrote for his wife in a story i read. She is dying.
“My love is like a red red rose
That’s newly sprung in June
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune
So fair you are, my love,
So deep in love am I
And I will love you still, my dear
Till all the seas run dry
Till all the seas run dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt in the sun
Oh I will love you still, my dear
While the sands of life will run
It’s not goodbye, my only love,
Just ‘See you in a while’
We’ll never be too far apart
So please try to smile.
Smile for all the times we’ve had
And the times yet to come
For as long as there is love, my sweet,
This journey isn’t done.
Forever’s what we have, my dear,
And forever doesn’t end
Remember that in time, my dear,
A broken heart will mend.
So wipe away your tears, my love,
Don’t cry for you and me
Heaven won’t part us for long, darling,
So let your soul be free.”
This a letter she is writing to her 4 year old daughter. the husband is going to give it to her when she is older.
Dear Aimee,
I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you when you needed me. I wish I had been, and I, I hope you forgive me for that much, because I do love you, baby girl. Although you’re not a baby girl anymore. I want to tell you so many, so many things, but since I can’t be there to tell you them to your face, I’m going to have to trust that your dad will give this to you. First of all… you’re old enough to have realized that, that life isn’t always fair, that the good guy doesn’t always win, that, that sometimes things happen and you just can’t change it…No matter how hard you try. When that happens, remember you’ve got a family who loves you, who’d be willing to go to the ends of the Earth for you. As long as you’ve got family, you’ve got all you need. Tout tu as besoin de est l’amour, et le monde veut bien te venir. ( Translation:All you need is love, and the world will come to you."
Love is funny thing though. It can bring you out of the deepest despair, but it can also put you there. There’s going to be plenty of times when someone’s going to break your heart, but even though it feels like it’s never going to heal, trust me, it does. It will. And if anyone ever tries to tell you that, that if someone breaks your heart, they don’t love you, and you shouldn’t love them… don’t believe them. Sans la souffrance, il n’y a pas de la beauté. (Translation:Without suffering, there is no beauty.) The only problem is telling the difference between when it’s time to go, and when you should stay. Sometimes there is none. Follow your heart, but listen to your mind. Do that much, and you’ll find your path. For anything in this life. |
