It took a while for me to stop my cries, and I pulled away from you and had only sniffles every now and then escaping me. My eyes looked into your puffy ones that were kept closed, as if you didn't want me to see them.
"Hey..." I murmur, wiping away the remanent tears while you continued to keep more in. "I'm here now, you can stop crying." A wry laugh left me.
You shook your head. "I'm just so happy to see you." Your voice broke at some parts, and your eyes finally opened.
"I can't believe you're here..." Your fingers ran through my hair and feeling the softness of it, then once again touching my face and caressing every curve. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." I say, leaning into your hand and closing your eyes. "I missed your touch, your warmth." My hand overlapped yours.
Up until now, I felt nothing. Not even cold or warm, I felt nothing.
But now, I could feel her warmth.
"You've been looking really tired these days." I had my hand reached out to you, touching the tip of your nose with a pained smile. "I'm sorry."
You looked surprised. "... Y-You've been watching over me?"
I nod. "All the time, assumingly, right after my funural service was done." I let out a sigh and lean in, placing my forehead on yours. "I'm sorry, Lisa."
"What are you apologizing for..." You murmur and have both of our noses brush together.
I look into your eyes and almost lose myself in them. "... I should've listened to you." Your eyes widen and I could see the sadness in them, especially the worry.
The glint of worry I constantly saw before we would go to sleep.
"I should've listened to you and gone to the doctors," I let out a sigh. "I should've just gone under treatment to at least slow down the process —"
"Stop, stop." You plead to me, almost murmuring tiredly. Your arms go around me again, and your head goes in between my shoulder blade and neck. "Please don't talk about it... I don't want to think about that now."
My eyes narrowed in worry to the ground, I wanted to apologize for so many more things. But I respected your choice. If you didn't want to talk about it, I wouldn't, I would t want to have you sad right before me, especially as I can see you now.
I nod my head, also putting my arms around and embracing you again. "Okay..." I murmur and place my chin on the crown of your head.
For now, only this moment mattered.
