Dear Clarissa,
If you are reading this I'm gone from this life and watching over you from another. I want you to always remember that love has wings and can never be tamed, not even the death of me will make my love fade. Cancer slowly took me away from you but I'm asking you not to be mad at God but embrace him because he has a plan for us all and this was his for me. Every time you see the picture of us at prom, hear my name, or smell the aroma from the shirt of mine that you wear to bed don't think about losing me but think about the love we shared. I'll be waiting for you in heaven where our love will soar once again. I love you my dear Clarissa that will never change. Live your life with the drive and determination I know you possess and use my memory as fuel for every action you make. Achieve your dream of becoming a doctor and save someone else's love from this horrendous illness.
Love,
Dylan
PS: Remember Corinthians 14:4-8
This was the letter I read a week after I lost the love of my life to his battle with cancer and I cry myself to sleep that night. I wake in the middle of the night from the nightmare of losing Dylan in that creepy hospital once again.
I go to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, take out the bottle of Sleep Aid, close the cabinet, and stare at the reflection in the mirror. I contemplate my options and then say in to the mirror "I'll be with you in heaven sooner than you think." I down the whole bottle of Sleep Aid and curl up in a ball on my bed with the teddy bear that he gave to me for Valentine's Day.
Lying on the beach in Dylan's arms under the stars I was content. I was with my love forever now or so I thought...
"Dylan I've missed you so much." I sang.
"I missed you too. But you can't stay here." His cold voice spoke the words I didn't want to hear.
Shocked I asked: "Do you not want me?"
"Not when it's not your time to be here, go back and live your life like I told you to." He said in complete and total confidence.
At that I began to float above the beach, away from Dylan, and back to the world I was no longer a part of.
I wake up yo the same dull white coloring I've come accustomed to seeing everyday... But there is something off... Something strange.
