For the love of it

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

Sigh, I glanced around the room with white walls

I looked at my family, it was too heavy on them

The room reeked of sadness... Sigh

Then came the nurse, “Any final wish Madam”

“Yes”, I said. She came closer for her to hear me and left.

Moments later, a Pepsi and a loaf of bread came accompanied with a table, two chairs, two wine glasses and a white cloth,

My husband stared at me with tears, whilst I invited him to join me at the table.

Everything I wanted by Billie Eilish began to play as I had requested.

I ate my bread and took a gulp of my pepsi, savoring its significance in how it brought us him and I together and all the lovely memories cancer granted us with.

The tears were building up, I smiled and looked at him, “Remember when you asked me why it was always Pepsi I drank.” He chuckled “Yes, and you always said you its for the love it.”

We laughed hard but it came to an abrupt end when I started coughing and blood came out. It was time.

He carried me to the bed and stayed beside me, holding me tight.

*Beep* *Beeep* *Beeeeeeeeeeep*
