Always and Forever

Chapter 16 - Forever

A year has passed since the passing of my loved one; Anastasia. After shutting of my humanity for a year - I finally bring myself to read the letter she left me. Although I find it hard to bare the thought that she is well and truly gone.
Everybody knows that everybody dies, nobody knew it like her. The reality is, you will grieve forever - you will not 'Get over' the loss of a loved one, simply learn to live with the grief, rebuild yourself whilst surrendering to the suffering.

I go out to the county, as I lie on the grass on a meadow full of beautifully coloured flowers. I gaze at the stars with the letter resting on my hands, I open the letter from the woman I love - the letter she wrote before she was brutally snatched from this world.

My Dearest Kol,
This path we are taking together has never seem more slow, yet I fear I am fearing it's end, sooner rather than later- Klaus will come for me.Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again - although I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the life you live and understand that all things are possible, that someday you'll come back for me. Hurry though, my love; my days grow shorter by the second and I am so very weak. God speed my lonely Angel.
All my love,
Anastasia

Placing the letter upon the grass next to me, I stare long and hard at the crystal constellations, picturing of her presence always watching over me - I can feel her soul near, the sweetest soul. I promise to love her unconditionally, even from beyond the grave. I love her so very much. My Anastasia, my Ana - The woman I will love forever, from the moment I laid eyes on her at the ball.

I lay on the slightly damp grass scattered in dew, staring up at the sky.
As I whisper under my breath
"Always and forever..."

The End
