"I'll love you for the rest of my days" the words poured out of his mouth briskly but I heard every word and felt the emotion they conveyed, out of excitement I couldn't give back a reply, hearing these words from the man I so much loved had always been a figment of my imagination so when it finally happened, I was awestrucked and because I also assumed we still got time, the call ended there.
And through the night, the words kept on playing in my head like my favorite song, I turned several times waiting on daybreak for I couldn't wait to return back those words at the rising of the sun.
6:00a.m the following morning, a call woke me up "your man is no more" said the voice... I couldn't believe my ears until I saw him lying in a cold coffin with wool in his nostrils and my chest felt as though it might explode as I cried uncontrollably and sobbed severally like a child crying over a piece of candy
With regret that comes belatedly, I bit my lower lips and swallowed my bitter tears, held his cold hands and said back the words he said last night "I'll love you for the rest of my days"
