Before Your Gone

He holds me as if I'm delicate, and has sworn to never let go. When he whispers in my ear he pulls me close and brushes his finger against my face. Late at night I lay here listening to the beats of his heart, thump thump... tick tick. I wake from my dream hearing my clock ticking on my dresser. Two years from that night stays in my memory. my fiance lays next to me, everyday i tell him i love him, but your face comes to mind. You were so good to me i can't seem to let you go. In my drawer, i grab the note that was sent to me from two years ago.
