     I silently sat in the hospital room. I'd been here all week. I was pale, sick to my stomach, depressed and energy less. I held his hand tight thinking if I let go, he'd slip away. And that's what he did. My Devin slipped away. Before he left, he looked me in the eyes with his sweet, intense, mesmerizing ones whispering graceful words in his smooth, accented, comforting voice.

     "I love you sweetheart, and I'm sorry I have to go so soon," he says, eyes closing between every word. " You are my one and only love, the only one I want. I want to marry you, have a son and daughter, a house, a dog and even pet fish if you want. And see you everyday after work, and love you in every way possible. I'm sorry it won't happen. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry. I love you. I'm sorry." Tears begin falling from his eyes and he grows more hoarse with every breath he takes. "I will be with you forever, no matter what watching over my beautiful lady as your guardian angel."

     I looked him in the eyes and wiped his tears away. "Shhh, don't worry about me honey; I'm going to make it. I love you too sweetheart...rest."

     I placed my now heavy head on his chest and gently kissed his full, soft, but now ice cold lips one last time. He lowered his head and kissed back so passionately like his life depended on it. " Sasha, I know you're a fighter. You're going to make it. That's why.............. I love you."________________________________________________________________________

You could here something was wrong in the way he was breathing. Next, his tongue rolled into his open mouth. Then, his eyes began closing. Finally, all the lines on the machine went flat. At this moment so did my heart, mind, body and soul. The doctors rushed in to take me out and begin doing work. He didn't make it. Cancer took my last good reason to live.

     I guess it's not my last because I'm still here. Maybe it's because I know Devin's watching over me. Maybe it's because I feel like I'll disappoint him if I go. Maybe I feel someone will miss me. Who knows?

     A low, silent breeze chills me to the bone while rustling my hair, snapping me back to the cruel reality. I pull my cell phone out my bag to check the time. Damn, 7:14, I'm going to be late.

     I leave the memories and haunting park behind continuing my journey to the hell hole known as school.
