The Diary of His Grieving Girl

(In Response to Diary of a Dying Man)

Dear, I will cry not with you but for us.

I will cry for the future that you and I have yet to have.

I will cry for our children, how we’ll never get to hold them.

I will cry for the pitter-patter of their footsteps.

For their eyes, same color as yours and for their smile, that we’ll never get to see them.

I will cry for their late night tantrums and their morning screams.

And still I will cry for their teenage angst and their first loves.

I will cry for those laughter left unshared and for those memories yet to be made.

I will cry for our dreams because that’s how they will stay.

I will cry not of you dying young but of you dying now.

I will cry for the comfort of your hand in mine.

I will cry not of regret for wasted time because you and I had met.

I will cry not for you but because of you.

But most of all, I will cry, because I love you.
