I thought something was real.
Why did you do this to me!!!
What... What did I do wrong?
You...
You wouldn't understand how much this last year has meant to me! This...
I would never be able to have a second chance at love again.  I ... I should hate you!
But at the same time, you were the person who showed me what warmth is during  bitterly cold winter nights.
You taught me how gentle the wind in spring can be.  How the longest hours of summer wasn't enough.

I don't regret it.
I won't.
I can't.
Could I even pretend to forget? How could I?

The first time my heart raced when you leaned in for my first kiss!

The way my hands got warm whiling holding on to to yours whiling running through the park pathways to get to the bus stop.

The flush of color on my face while in the dark movie theater in your arms ... with your heartbeat in my ear and how it made everything else fade away for the first time.

Can you think how torn I felt when I found out everything f was a lie?!!

Did it feel good to see my pathetic self shed tears for you?

Are you satisfied that I felt like dying inside?

Can you be happy knowing you won this bet?

Why?!! Why drag it out for so long? Why this year?!! Why me??!!

But you know what? I have the last laugh.
I too have something I didn't tell you.
But you won't ever be able to guess.

I'm dying. I have been fighting this since last year. Yeah that's right, you won a betting game with a sick person.
Don't you feel great?
I was going to die this year. Ha!
But ... because of you I 
I found the will to live and fight.
You gave me hope to see the next day. 

I  ... I don't hate you. Despite what I may sound  like, I'm thankful. Because I got to know what love is. I gave myself a fighting chance.

I ... I want you know ...

I forgive you...

I love you ...

Good bye....

Authors Note: This one is a little different than I usually like to at up the story format. I have to admit, I shed a tear writing this. But this was the mood I was in. I don't know if I left things open enough if anyone wanted to use this content piece. ( but again, you are more then welcome to.)
What did you think about this piece? Price of puppy love too high?
