"What I would I give for just a moment to hold
Yeah I live for this feeling this Everglow"
Matthew wished he could hug his boyfriend back. He knew, one day he will be able to hug him again, but that may take longer than he wants it to. However at that moment, he knew it was time for him to go. He was expecting it, and was longing for the time not to come, but like usual, time doesn't slow down, so he placed a kiss on the grave and got up. On the walk home, he felt happy and for the first time since Gilbert was gone, he smiled. This time it was a genuine smile. He was thankful for meeting Gilbert, thankful for all those moments they spent together. He loved him and only him. He knew Gilbert was telling him to move on, and that's what he was planning to do.
Once in his house, he entered and had the courage to look back at the closet they shared. Since Gilbert was gone, Matthew couldn't look at his clothes without breaking into tears, but he vowed not to do that anymore for Gilbert.
He climbed up the stairs and walked into his room, took a deep breath and opened the closet door. He first took out his night shirt and a pair of pajama pants, and as he did, he noticed something in one of the jackets in the closet. He was unsure if it was Gilbert's or his, but he knew it was Gilbert's by the size. He was curious about something that was popping out in one of the pockets and so he looked around the room to see if someone or something was watching him since he would feel guilty if he were caught digging through Gilbert's stuff. When he saw obviously saw no one, he put his hand in the pocket and felt something.
The texture was soft. It was definitely make out of leather. It was also small and squarish. After he got his grip of the object, he pulled it out and examined it again. He opened it afterwards and felt a sudden sadness wash over him. He remembered Gilbert bragging about a surprise he had for him on that day. One to prove how much he loved him.
It was a ring.
An engagement ring.
