I fell in love the way we fall asleep, slowly, then, all at once.
As I dreamt about the times when Hazel Grace and I sat down under the Oak tree, I fell into the river of memories. I watched the rising sun in her losing eyes. Tears streamed down her pale face. Looking at me, she whispered words of grace into my ears. I fell head over heels for her. It felt like living in fast forward, If I could rewind the time and if I could turn back in life, I'll be hers and she will be mine.
We came to know that Hazel Grace was diagnosed with stage four thyroid cancer with metastasis, three weeks before our wedding.
On our wedding day, she was breathtaking. I felt my love for her swell my heart. I had never loved her so much as I did that very moment. Once she raised her eyes from the ground on which she carefully stepped, her beautiful green eyes latched onto mine, and I could see nothing else. We became one in body as we were becoming one in heart, mind and soul in that mere moment.
In the hospital that day, As she drew her last breath of life, she said "There will come a time when all of us have to go. Now, This is my time"
As I watched her frail body going through countless sessions of therapies, I thought to myself that life is unfair. I suppose pain demands to be felt. Maybe now, heaven knows that we are miserable. My life couldn't get any worse than this. This is AN IMPERIAL AFFLICTON that I could never be able to get over. My heart froze in misery. My hasting feet trembled as I fell down on my knees; I broke down in tears watching her suffer the unbearable pain, the pain that she never deserved.
People say, you don't have a soul, you're the soul, you have a body but all my happiness and my soul was taken away on the day I lost Hazel Grace. Now, I am left with memories alone in this soulless body.
They say that love is forever, then, forever was all that I needed.
