He held her in his arms and watched the sun go down on the horizon. He squeezed her tighter as the sky turned a vivid orange. A warm breeze came by and blew her hair away from her cheek. He kissed her on the side of her face.1
"I love you, always and forever." He kissed her again, but this time on the lips. The kiss was long and passionate. She pulled away and looked deep into the green eyes she fell so in love with.2
"Forever?" She asked3
"Forever."4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5
Looking back on the memory she was unsure forever existed. It seemed time, once infinite, looked to end in front of her.6
"Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.." the preacher went on. Her eyes began to well up with tears and run down her cheek like an endless waterfall.7
She walked up to the coffin. It was silver and white satin covered the inside. Perched atop of the beautiful tomb were roses. Their beauty illuminated the sadness (which seemed to be like a constant tidal wave) in the room. She pictured the strong sturdy red lasting forever. The image began to fade and she faced reality. The fact they would wither away and die.8
Her eyes wandered down to her husband. He looked as if his hands were going to reach up and wipe away the tears that streamed down her face and tell her in his soft majestic voice, that everything was going to be alright. He did nothing, he laid there in a peaceful slumber. She knew she would never see him again as the casket was shut tight and lowered slowly to the ground. The more the love of her life came closer and closer his final resting place the more she felt alone and degraded.9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~10
Skipping dinner and going to bed, she wanted to forget the nightmare, the tragedy she faced today at the cemetery. She wanted to enter a world where dreams take over reality and seem to last forever.11
She laid down, but did not fall asleep right away. She fell asleep to more sobs and tears to add to her pillow. As she slept her arms reached out for an empty cause because he was not there. The air around her as she slept was filled with loneliness of a dead lover.12
A warm breeze blew by, like on that sunset evening, and dried the unfinished tears on her cheek. Although the breeze was warm she felt as though she were wrapped in a blanket of cold. Still in her dreams, she did not notice anything going on around her.13
Echoed throughout her house, up the stair into her room and filled her ears. A word, a single word that meant everything to her.14
"Forever."15
A soft smile played across her face, she was happy once more knowing she had love forever.16
