Your love will live forever

Be still my dying heart!

Your dancing eyes caught my gaze. From across the room I could see your animated gestures. Your audience enthralled by your stories. From that first gaze, I am captivated. Zombie-like I walk towards where you are performing your one man show. You say something funny and everyone laughs. As I get closer, your soft velvet voice caresses my aural mechanics. You look up, see me and smile. I knew that smile was enough to melt my icy heart. I had to make you mine. You took my breath away.

In time, we were inseperable. We spent every moment together. Making memories and living a life so full. We shared good times and bad. We laughed together and when I cried you held me close and whispered all the things I needed to hear. We shared our lives and made love so sweet. The emotions raw and uncensored. You were gentle and thoughful. Kind and caring. You always put me ahead of anything. Yours was a gorgeous soul. You were my world. My reason for living. My everything. I loved you more than I have ever loved anyone and I know you loved me back. Feeling the extent of your love every moment took my breath away.

That day, 5 months later, I sat holding you in my arms. Rocking back and forth. Tears streaming down my face. The soft sobbing escaped my lips. It was too late as the crimson stain spread on my white dress. You looked up at me and smiled. The same smile that melted my heart the first moment I saw you was the smile that I would see while saying good-bye to you.

The last breath you took, took my breath away!
