I walk in the church, everyone sniffling, and the breeze cold around me. I pull my suit tighter around my body, and brace my self for the sight to haunt my soul for the rest of my living years. No noise except for the muffled cries ,and soft piano music drifting lightly over the stiff air. I offer people sad smiles in return for the expected tears piercing at my eyes. It seems time is of no existence with each step I take to her satin resting place.
I dab my fingers under the bag of my eye, and stand in the back of the long waiting line. Sleep hasn't visited me in the last week, since the awful tragedy of the most blessed gift to this earth has been taken away. The horrid scene flashes in front of me with each silent second. One moment we were giggling and picking fun at one another, grabbing some snacks at the nearby 7-11, and the next, some poor excuse of a man comes barging in with a gun threatening to kill someone If they didn't hand over the money. My brave little Ellie thinking she could do something goes to knock the gun out of his hand, but instead she trips over him as he doesn't even blink when he fires the cold metal piece into her head, instantly killing her. I hope he rots in hell with his disgusting piece of shit he calls life. I resent that man, and Ellie's heroic sense of adventure. Always trying to save people.
The line moves closer to her frigid body, and mine is filled with a cold anxiety.
"Daniel, honey, it'll be okay. I'm here, there's no need to worry.."
She once had told me on the way to a job interview. I miss the love of my life. Happiness is known nowhere anymore, and I miss it. I miss smiling with her, I miss hearing her voice echoing as she sings some vintage musical, but I just miss having her loving arms embrace me.
The line draws nearer, and I'm next to see her, and the last. Everyone sitting in pews and watching me. They're watching how I will react to my girlfriend of seven years, laying dead in her coffin. I hope they don't expect a grand show of me weeping into her clothes or some bullshit like that. I know she would not want me doing that anyways, something about staining the cloth of her dress. Silly girl.
" ..Oh I miss her..." I whisper to myself, upon walking up to her front and center. Her lovely auburn hair pinned and out of her face, the blood no longer staining her soft velvety skin. Her long eyelashes are fanned across her high cheek bones, and her left hand crossed over her right above her thighs. A pearl string bracelet wrapped around her left wrist, and I took a large breath, biting back the sob of tears. I must stay strong for those around me.
I examine her freckles that spread all around her nose, and stifled a small puff of laughter. I shake my head at how much she hated them, but I adored them so entirely much. She was so innocent looking, and her baby face didn't help with that.
Before I said my final goodbyes, I turn around and open my eyes to those around me.
All familiar faces from the high school years, dorm mates from college, and family. I adjust my voice, and everyone looking at me with pity and confusion. What a sight to see.
"Excuse me, may I have everyone's attention. I plan on speaking later, but I must do this before they close the wood on my sleeping beauty. The night before my lifeline was taken away, I had planned on taking this girl and turning her into my fiancé." Everyone gasps, and eyes around me cloud with more tears as I continue to speak. "The exact speech won't be heard by anyone, and I don't plan on telling other ears too. I wrote them all down and will go with her as it would in the oxygen filled life she once lived. As will the ring I planned on presenting to my princess." I hold up the gold princess cut diamond ring, and show those around me. At this point each eye was filled with the salty bitterness. "I apologize for letting this happen, and for interrupting, but It had to be done. My fiancé will take my heart as she takes this ring, and I just wanted to clue all our loved ones into it. Thank-You." I nod a small bit, and turn back around to little miss sunshine. I gently grab the tough left hand of my maiden and slide the old engagement ring passed down from generations in my family onto her lovely left finger. I place it softly back into place before looking at her one last time.
I bend over to her ear and whisper "I love you more than you will ever fathom. I'll see you some day soon my angel. Take care of mom up there." And kiss the hard lips of my soulmate, one last time.
