The Boy Behind the Mask
The boy comes in
You see him
Not knowing who he is
You say hi
But he doesn't reply
You think
Who is he
But you go on with your day
But he still in your mind
You go to lunch see him again
Say hi
But he doesn't reply
Again
So, you just sit with him
You ask his name
But he doesn't reply
You say your name
He looks at you
And
Says this " I lost my parents."
You stop eating looking at the tear
He just shed
You say, "It going to be okay.'"
Because you lost someone close too
He is crying now, and he comes close
Hugging him you start crying too
He stops hugging you
He asks, " why are you crying?"
You told him that your aunt died
When you were eleven
He says, " It's going to be okay."
Since that day you and he were best friends
But what you didn't know
Was that he wore a mask
You go on
He asks you out
You say yes
Now everything is perfect
Until he tells you
That he is dying
The mask he wore
Was so powerful you never saw
Him dying
You start crying
He says, " Don't cry everything is going to be okay."
You say " It's not going to be okay your dying.
My best friend, love of my life is dying. If I lose you
I might as well be dead."
He looks at you
And says this, " Sweet heart when I die take care of my little sister for me."
You say, " Of course I will."
He is happy
A couple of months later
You're in the hospital
He is dying now
You look at him
Still remembering the promise, you made
His little sister comes in
You look at her
Him and you were orphans
Him and you took care of his little sister
Now her brother is gone
You take her and told her this
" I promised your brother I would take care of you."
She lit up
You and her leave
Now the memory
You share with her
Is the brightest day she has had?
In her life
She meets the love of her life
Now she married
But you still single
The boy behind the mask
Stole your heart
Now you have now heart
The boys try to get you
But you say no
Now there is a new guy at work
But he has a mask you say
You say hey
He says it back
On your lunch break
You see him at lunch
But don't approach
He does though
You guys talk
Until your lunch break is over
He gives his number to you
You call him that night
Talked for five hours
He asks you out
You ask him
" Tell me everything."
He does
You say yes to him
He is happy
You go on many dates
Until the two-year mark of you date anniversy
He asks you to marry him
You say yes
Now your life is perfect once again
Now after you guys are married
You get pregnant
Now you have
A boy and a girl
Twins
You husband is happy
They grow up
Now you see them in kidngarden
Months pass
So fast
You and your husband
Go to work
You stop at the stop sign
Then you go
You see a car going to fast
Before you can get across
You get hit
You and your husband are in
The hospital
Not knowing if you're going to survive
You stopped breathing
They put a tube down your throat
You see your husband and the twins
Crying
They wait months
For you to wake up
Then you see your mom come in
Crying
You must wake up now
You try so much
IT doesn't work
You can't die
You stop
Trying
Now you fell something
You wake up
They pull the tube
