"Yuri, why did you have to save me?" Thomas cried as tears streamed down his pale face.

"I'm so sorry!"

Yuri lay in his embrace.

"Don't be sorry Thomas. If I hadn't saved you, my happiness wouldn't have lasted." She said as silent tears poured down her face.

He hugged her like he could never let go as she lay on his lap. Yuri suddenly felt immense pain penetrate her body and she flinched. Her energy was drained and her lips were colorless and dry.

"I love you, Thomas." She whispered.

"I love you, Yuri." Thomas said.

He could feel her energy draining and he knew she was dying. More tears leaked out of his eyes.

"Remember the time when we first met? You were really mean to me."
Yuri said.

Thomas nodded.

"And the time when you accidentally kissed me."

"When our eyes first met."

"When we first broke up."

"When we first kissed."

Yuri's voice got softer as she spoke. Thomas held her tighter. "Thomas, remember the poem I read to you?"

"I remember every word."

"Can you read it with me?" Yuri asked.
Thomas nodded as tears flooded his eyes again. Yuri smiled and began to clap as she chanted. Thomas joined in.

"Love is a legend, love is a story.
Love is a feeling, an experience, and a memory.
It's something I can't see,
It's something just for two.
Yet I feel so special,
When I'm with you.
Through storm and fire,
I feel the strong desire.
Down cliffs and rivers,
So we can be together,
Up mountains and hills,
Just me and you forever."

They stopped together. Yuri's arms felt heavy but she managed a soft laugh as she struggled to keep her eyes open.

"Thomas, now let's read your poem."
