"Oh my sunshine... I know we had plans, I know we made promises... and I'm so sorry for this... I have to do it, I can't let you go through more pain, you don't deserve it, you don't deserve any of this."

I stare at her, she looks so peaceful and calm, she always looks like an angel when she sleeps, I know when she is asleep she is at peace, she is not sad, angry, stressed or worried. She is safe.

"You never deserved this much pain, and you won't be in pain anymore."

I sigh and look at our interlock hands, hers always looking so small compared to mine. I take the ring off her middle finger as a tear rolls down my cheek.

"I'm the one that has always deserved this pain... this loneliness..."

I look at her again and use my other hand to brush the strain of hair off her face.

"I'm going to miss you so much my sunshine... my light..."

The knot in my throat gets bigger as more tears roll down my face.

"I don't know how I am going to live without you... because it doesn't matter how many times I say I can take care of myself... it's all bullshit sunshine... it's always been."

I take a deep breath trying to calm myself a bit but it's useless.

"My biggest fear it's becoming true... my light is turning off..."

I look at our hands again, I bring my hands to the back of my neck and take my cross necklace off and put the ring I just took from her hand and put it in the chain.

"I'll keep this to remember you, I don't want to live without you but... I know that you'll want me to keep going, even though... I don't deserve it"

I put the chain back on my neck and interlock our hands again, enjoying every second I have left of her touch.

"My sunshine..."

I sigh preparing myself from saying the next words for the last time.

"I'll love you always..."
