Last Smile

Goodbye

Alexander's P.O.V
 
  When I went to visit her in the morning, Anna was still sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake her up. I had thought to just come back later when she wakes up but after quite some time I felt that something was wrong.

  While looking at her carefully, I  slowly noticed she wasn't breathing. I panicked and called the doctors immediately, she was quickly brought to the I.C.U and I was told to stay outside and wait. After what had felt like a thousand years of waiting and phasing back and forth while brushing my hair back with my hand, the doctor had came out with a solemn look and when I asked how she was, I only got the shaking of their head that was when I knew she's gone but then I had realized that all I did was just saying goodbye to her, my tearing were streaming down my cheeks. All those hopes and dreams I made just for the two of us were broken. Now that she's not here I myself was so broken.

  I was so shocked of the fact that Anna had passed away while she was sleeping, I wasn't able to hold her on last time when she was alive I was only able to hold her because the doctor had allowed. What irony thought they would let you hold a corpse rather a living body. Now, all I have was her lifeless body devoid of her warmth but still her smile remained. All the things she said was her way of goodbye.

  I was so depressed, sad and frustrated that I didn't get to say goodbye to her properly on her burial because it was so heavy for me to take in but at least there's something she craved in my memory, heart and soul that I would never ever forget and that was her last smile.
