 The Letter 
 
 I wake, and I find the love of my life Jeremy lifeless holding my body. He is n't breathing, he is n't moving. I am the one who is sick, yet he is the one that lay lifeless. “ Why ” I scream. What have I done to deserve this. What has he done to deserve this. 
 
 It is at this moment that I realize he has a letter in his hand. I begin to read the letter. It ’ s almost as if I can hear his voice again as I read this.

 Lana, 
 You are the love of my life. You have always been there for me, you have always been my strength. 
 
 I still remember the day we met, the day I first laid eyes on your long curly brunette hair and your beautiful green eyes. I knew you were out of my league. I knew there was no way I could be with a girl as amazing as you, or so I thought. 
 
 You saw me sitting alone at the bench at the park one day. Instead of passing by as everyone else did, you came and sat down beside me. You sensed I was distressed. You asked me what was wrong, you heard my stories. You shared in my pains and in my sorrows. There are not many who I can say that about, and none but you who have stayed after hearing them. It was then I knew you were someone different, someone special. 
 
 You brought light into my life, gave me a sense of purpose. The last 10 years have been filled since joy and passion, and I have you to thank. Your love has been the greatest gift given to me. 
 
 Yet here I was tonight, holding you in my arms and I could do nothing to help you. 
 
 I begged to the heavens, to anyone or anything that would listen to save you. I saw you dying in my arms and there was nothing I could do. I felt so helpless. It was in that moment that I heard a voice. It was death. The Grim Reaper if you will. 
 
 I was told he needed to collect a soul. It didn ’ t need to be hers, but if not it needed to be given willingly. I struck a deal with death to take my soul in place of yours. I had an hour to say my goodbyes, and hence this letter. 
 
 It is you who has saved my life, who has given me a life worth living for all of these years. It is now my turn to return the favor, I shall save your life as you once saved mine 
 
 I have and always will love you now and forever. 
 
 Love, 
 Jeremy

 As tears fall down my face I whisper “ Now and forever ”.
