[ WP ] `` You will meet your lover , again and again , in different lives ... and one of you will kill the other , without fail . ''

Her face ever-changing, but her loving spirit was always there. The way she would smile at me, how she would laugh at my stupid jokes, and how being with her made the world fade away. 
 
 Whenever I found her, my existence would be illuminated for a night, a year, a lifetime. She was and is my hope for something better. However the amount of love we had for each other was never enough. Our love seems to always end in tears and regret, no matter where we are or who we are the happiness is as fleeting as our lives themselves. 
 
 There were times where our families did n't approve, which turned fatal. A drunk driving incident ended one of our nights. The worst was when she took her own life, everyone blamed me. Her friends said I broke her heart and buried her soul. 
 
 This life I have enjoyed the most though. Being married to the love of my life for twenty three years. We managed to grow old together and she holds my hand now as I lay here. Forever comforting, always smiling. Our children are here too, our son Michael and daughter Lorelei. I always thought that she chose an odd girl's name, but it really ended up being the perfect name for our daughter. I try to think of something meaningful to say to my family, something uplifting but my mind runs a blank. All I can muster is a simple `` I love you.'' 
 
 She starts crying, Lorelei too. Michael is putting on a strong face but the cracks are coming through. `` Do I have to do this?'' she whispers to me with a look of defeat. `` Yes.'' I reply firmly. `` Why is it always like this?'' she choke's through tears. `` It always has been, dear.'' 
 
 She stares blankly at the machine. It has all my readings on it, I am tired of suffering. She must be the one to pull the plug, that's just how it is. I put my hand on hers and grip tightly. `` It's okay.'' I say as she turns to gaze at me. `` This was the loveliest one of them all.'' 
 
 `` I know that's why I never want it to end.'' She says looking down. `` I'll miss you.'' she pauses for a long moment. `` Until next time.'' 
 
 The machine goes silent.
