The hour was getting later, and later. I glance at the clock, it quickly changes to 7:15 in quick seconds. I peered into the driveway through the open window, but once again, it was empty. Your car was missing, and I couldn't do much but to worry. You would have called, right?
I sat at the kitchen table, fiddling with my thumbs. I text a few of my friends, but they all say they haven't heard from you. I wait a little longer.
I groan in frustration. 'Why isn't he here?' I think. 'Is something wrong?' I shake my head, looking back towards the window. I blink back the tears that threaten to spill. I was interrupted by a loud, ringing noise coming from my phone. I answered it on the third ring. My face falls as I listen to the women on the other end. Her voice was deep.
The women told me something had happened, and I should come to the hospital, now. I closed my eyes and shook my head. I thank the lady and hang up. As I get into the car, I let a hot tear roll down my cheek. I pull out of the garage and onto the main road.
In the car, all I could think of was us. I thought of when you asked me to marry you. It was a bitterly cold December night, but you insisted on taking me out. We came upon a park, and we laughed, and talked for a while. You stood up in front of me, bent down on one knee, tears and a smile spread across your face.
You quietly said, "I want you forever, forever and always. Through the good and the bad and the ugly, we'll grow all together, forever and always."
I pulled up to the entrance. I walked up to the front desk. They led me down a million halls, "a maze that's never ending," as you would put it. A nurse tries to tell me what's wrong, but I can barley hear her. I tried to keep a straight face, I even smiled, when I walked into your room. I sat by your bed and we held our hands together too tight.
We talked about the kids we're going to have, and the life that awaits us. The good life. You told me about the house on the hillside, that I loved so much. You had bought it for us. You told me, "we'll live there, and stay there forever. Forever and always, thought the good and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together there, and always remember, whether we're rich, or we're poor, or we're in the middle, we'll still have each other, forever and always."
I felt many tears brim my lashes, though, yours were already down your cheeks. A tear fell out of my eyes and landed on the bed, while yours fell into my heart. I suddenly got an idea. I called a nurse and she brought up a chaplain. I ask the couple next door to borrow their rings, they obliged and let us.
The chaplain says a couple of verses.
We were all laughing, even though tears hit the floor faster then the bomb fell on Pearl Harbor. I looked into your eyes and whispered, "I want you forever, forever and always. Through good and the bad and the ugly, we'll grow old together, and always remember, whether we're happy or sad or whatever, we'll still have each other, forever and always."
I finish the vow I'm on, but the beeps on the monitor are getting too slow. Your voice is almost too low for me to understand what you're saying. Before the beeps stopped, and it seems as if I couldn't cry anymore, as if I couldn't breath, I couldn't move, you told me, "I, will you love forever, forever and always. Please just remember, that if I'm not there, I'll always love you, forever and always."
NOTE: Okay. Wow. I wrote this, it's pretty sad, do you agree? Review!
