Short story.

"Please dont walk away from me, please Jewels if you do how will I breathe everyday knowing you are gone?"
My lips pierced against each other so tight I could feel the parts inside my lips. Jewels shut her eyes tight, she felt the craving, the temptation of wanting me to be with her forever. Her beautiful long black curls swung in the summer breeze, her eyes blue like the ocean putting me always at ease. Tears were swelling into her ducts, they filled and they were aligned with her eye sockets. She sat me down by some old torn down bench with a rose in her hand.
" Tom you know that I will always love you, and I will never forget the man that you were, I will never forget the person you were with me. I need you to know that, I will constantly miss you every day, I will never ever stop thinking about you until the day that I die."
I felt so naked there beside her, feeling her pain the way that she feels about our love, but yet nothing can be done about it. I touch her long locks and I whisper " we will always be together no matter who you end up with, please dont cry Jewel, I love you."
In an instant Jewel stopped to cry, she wiped her eyes and walked away from the lonesome bench which comforted her in loneliness. She wore a black laced dress with splashes of white polka dots covering the whole dress. " I love you Tom, dont you ever forget that babe." She kept mumbling to herself. There she was the woman of my dreams standing so alone in a crowd of people, praying, sobbing right in front of me. Jewel made a beautiful speech about our love that day I loved every passionate word coming from the bottom of her heart. As she spoke my heart felt whole, I was smiling as I stood right beside her, feeling the heat of her body rubbing off onto me.
" Tom, what can I say he was an amazing boyfriend, someone I thought I would be spending the rest of my life with. Unfortunately, him and I are no longer together because by some force he was taken from me, and he was taken from everyone else too. But it hurts so much waking up everyday, seeing his pictures, his clothes, and his love letters on my desk. You see Tom loved leaving me notes before he left in the morning to go to work." Jewel giggled. " He would leave me romantic notes telling me where we would meet after work, and he would always plan all these things just for me, I must have been the luckiest girl because I dont know many men who do that these days. Tom if you can hear me I hope you know that you were the only one for me, you were my prince, you were my everything and I was completely into you. We would have made great beautiful babies, and we would have had a beautiful picked white fence, a dog and a beautiful garden. Im sorry I didn't say I love you enough, I am truly sorry that I was not able to prevent this day from happening. But Tom it happened so fast you were diagnosed so late and now you are gone, the cancer spread quicker than anything. I miss you babe, and you will always be my number one love." she ended with sob after sob. She then threw a single rose into my casket as they lowered me into the ground. I stood right beside her, my soul, attached to her at the hip. I watched her walk off into a car and she drove off, my heart broke, but in time she would heal. In time she would love again, maybe not the way she loved me, but in time she would love again.
