She always woke up in the middle of the night to catch her breath,

He was always hooked up to an oxogen machine for most of his life.

She always caught herself staring at him,

He always tried to look away.

One day they speak,

She asks about him,

He asks about her.

They go on their first date,

That lead to many others.

She still has to catch her breath around him,

He stops breathing every time he sees her.

One day,

She gets a phone call..

He was in a terrible fight.

She wanted to see him.. but she was on house arrest,

He wanted to kiss her one last time.

She found out the hard way,

He left sadly but peacefully.

She would never forget the last words he said, that the nurse told her,

He wanted to use his last breath to say "I'd use my last breath to tell you how much I love you, Clarissa, you are my life now and for-ev-er.".

She never forgave herself for not seeing him,

He never forgot the night he took his last breath waiting for her.
