Memories

She rushed round the hostel. Trying to remember what she had to do next. Her friend and an unfamiliar face came into the room. They spoke, casual chit chat. After a long struggle of constant forgetting, they where almost ready to leave; getting a coffee or something. "Who got you those flowers?" her friend asked. "Pete," she said, a smile lighting her face up. "He hasn't spoken to me in a while though, I love him," she said, like a little girl; completely in love. Little could she remember that Pete passed away. Almost two years ago. She suffered terrible memory loss; dementia or something. It was crazy; how through everything, everyone she's forgotten; she remembers the one she forever loved the most. The way the brightness lit her face up when she spoke of him; it's indescribable. It broke others hearts knowing that she's clueless that her soulmate, lover, husband; is gone. She'll never know the wiser.

I didn't know how to word this whole thing. It's so hard to explain. This actually happened. 'She's' a family friend of mine. This is the first time I've seen her when she's been this bad. It truly broke my heart this morning when this happened.
