Always Say I Love You
Brittany loved basketball
Friends and parties too
And when it came to painting
That's all she wanted to do
She painted everything she saw
Birds, flowers, the sky
Some days she sat at her window
And painted everything that passed her by
But lately she'd been feeling woozy
Her muscles ached a lot
And her parents got kind of worried
So they took her to the doc
The doctor took a couple of tests
To see if everything was okay
Then the nurse came out with a look of sadness
And this is what she had to say;
"I'm sorry but you've got leukemia,"
"You've got about 3 months more."
Then Brittany got up and ran out of the room
And slammed the office door
She ran down the street screaming
And cried her eyes out dry
And stayed up all night
Wondering what it's like to die
Her parents held her tightly
And said, "We love you,"
"We'll make your last few
months the greatest,"
"We'll do anything for you."
So Brittany and her parents moved to Florida
To live by the sea
Because Brittany loved the ocean
And when she dies,
that's where she wanted to be
She spent her days painting
And horseback riding in by the bay
But one day she met this guy
And his name was Jay
They collected seashells together
And talked about all kinds of things
And then one day while walking
He handed her a ring
It said, "I love you,"
Which brought tears to Brittany's eyes
And when he put it on her finger
She began to cry
"I've got leukemia, and about a month more."
He said," No matter what, I love you,"
"And no matter what, you are the one I adore."
So they spent everyday together
And swam in the Atlantic all day
But Brittany was getting weaker
And it was hard for her stay awake
So one day Brittany painted her picture
And gave it to Jay
She said, "I want you to remember me,"
"Even when I leave this place."
But one day while they were walking
And searching for seashells in the sand
Brittany collapsed and
started to lose her breath
And said to Jay,
"Please hold my hand."
"I love you more than anyone,"
"You are my only true love,"
"But now my time is up,"
"And I'll watch over you from above,"
Then Brittany's body was lifeless
As she lay in Jay's arms
And he sat there all day
And kept her safe from harm
I hope this teaches you a lesson.
To tell someone you love them
whenever you can.
Because maybe they'll be gone tomorrow.
And you won't be there to hold their hand.
Because love is everything to everybody.
Without it, the world would be dead.
So always tell someone you love them.
A parent, a lover, a friend.
It makes a big difference even
though you don't think so.
Everyone deserves an "I love you."
Because there may be no one for
that person to say it back to.
If you don't,
the same shall happen to you.
You might not have the same disease,
But you will be dying of early age.
Thank you for walking this path with me!
