"Hey babe, how are you feeling today?"
I'm a worthless piece of shit, all I do now is spend time alone in my room, looking through all the old photos of us. Your spirit lingers around me but I know it isn't you.
I know the real you died the day I left, you ran out in the rain to prevent me from leaving, tears running down your face, then out of no where, a car swerves from the wet road, leaving you a puddle of blood against the walls of the hospital and concrete.
Do I ever regret leaving, no, I think what I did was right. But I do regret, every second of my life, not realizing how much you really loved me, and this cost you your life.
"Honey, why are you sad?" quiet voice like the wind, she sounds like her, soft and kind, but isn't, this is my guilt that haunts me.
I look at the thing, no body, no face, just a dark aura, in the shape of a person, mimicking the person I love most.
"Aww, I'm sorry for making you sad" The thing tries to hug me, but it's cold, no warmth no feeling in this hug.
I look down at my phone a scroll through the photos of us. You were smiling in every single one, and what about me? Always frowning, always being a thorn to your side. So why? Why did you stick with me? Why did you love me?
"I'm Sorry" The thing says, I look at it, nothing but black smoke, then I exhale.
"What are you talking about?" I said, the thing hugs me tighter, my body gets colder.
"For never telling you how much you mean to me" The thing, its hugs start to feel a little warmer.
"For not telling me what?" I look at the thing, it was her, I can see her face clearly, the person I cherish the most.
"Why are you here?" I start crying, its warm, her hug is warm, "Why do you want to stick with me so much?" I put my head down on my lap, tears are rushing down my face.
She lifts my head up, and tells me "Because you were the kindest, most wonderful, most genuine person, who never meant to hurt me"
I cant help but bawl my eyes out, her love, it didn't need a reason, it was clear and obvious, but I'm just an idiot and shut life away.
"Hey?" I wipe my tears and look at her
"Yes honey?" She holds my hand
"Stay with me when I die?" I close my eyes
"Of course" She kiss the top of my head
It got cold again, I opened my eyes, it was death, right in front of me "So you were here for my life..."
"I'm Sorry, it's time, your cancer won" She frowned looking at me with her sad eyes. I squeeze her hand tight and smiled.
"It's fine, I'll get to be with you again"
