Work Text:
I remember the pain. That excruciating pain. Nothing could compare to what it felt like, except the hurt I saw in your eyes when you held me in your arms one last time. I wanted to reach out to you and tell you “Please don’t be afraid” and “I love you”, but no words came out through my lips.
I knew you hated what I had done even though it was all for you. And if I had the chance I would make the same choice over and over. We both would.
You were my responsibility, I should have protected you. And because I couldn’t, I would gladly give my life for you to live.
Thinking about all the things I would miss out on, my heart ached. Like the sound of your laughter when I said something out of line or the feeling I got when we touched. But most of all I would miss your eyes, more beautiful than anything. I would miss seeing the universe every time our eyes locked.
As I laid there losing everything, I knew that there was no other place I would rather be than right there in your arms. When my last breath left my body, I whispered your name.
Everything turned black and I could hear you scream my name one last time. And I knew that when I opened my eyes, I would be all alone forever.
