Don't leave me

Please don't leave me

"Angel, Angel baby please. Don't leave me here alone." Daniel whispers this as he holds my dying body. One hand cupping my face the other around my shoulders.

I never fully understood love till this moment.

Love is giving up everything for the well being of someone else.

That is what I did.

Today is December 4th, 2016 and it is the day I die.

These arms that have held me, hugged me, told me stories I never will hear again.

"I'm dying." My voice is so weak. "Daniel I'm dying."

"No, baby, no. Your going to be okay. The Ambulance will be here soon. Just hold on." He has tears streaming down his face as he speaks.

"It's okay. I'm okay with dying. I'm here in your arms and that's all that matters. I don't even feel pain anymore." It's true. The pain is gone.

"Oh my Angel, please don't say that. What about the plans we have for our future? Please don't leave me." He digs his head into my hair and kisses me on the lips.

"Do you remember the day you first kissed me? What you told me?" It's almost time. I can feel it.

Daniel looks down at me and smiles.
"I told you you are the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and I had been in love with you sense we where four years old. You looked so damn beautiful standing in the rain. I gave you my jacket to wear and I couldn't take my eyes off you. I wasn't even planing on kissing you but after I told you I loved you and you didn't run away I thought what the heck?" His hand brushes back my hair from my face.

"Daniel, I love you. I'm sorry I'm leaving you. I don't want to. I can see a light. It's getting closer. Oh Daniel it's so beautiful" Tears start streaming down my face.

"Angel?"

Daniel holds Angel as her heart stops beating.

It should have been him.

He loved her so much.

Yet she died for him, and he did nothing.
