I drive to the cliff after the funeral.

I stare down at the crushing waves below me.

One step...

I wrapped the blanket from the back of your car around me tighter.

' Dear People Who find this,
       I'm sorry. But I had to.'
I left the note on your car, now writing a separate one. One for Josh.

'Dear Josh,
      We can be together now. I love you. I love everything about you. From your smile and lame jokes to the way you made me feel free and alive. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything, im sorry I couldn't be with you, I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye. I really do love you. We can be together now.'

I folded up the note and left it in your car, which I drove out to here. I walked back out to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the water.

"I love you" I say looking ahead of me.

I take one step.

I can feel myself fall.

I can feel the wind rush through my hair.

I feel my body hit the icy cold water and it be engulfed by it.

I feel numb.

I feel myself begin to pass out.

I feel my lungs give up, and my soul leave my body.

I feel myself in familiar arms, in Joshua's arms.

I did it. I'm with him.

"I love you too" he mumbles holding me close.
