"Why do you carve your name in trees?" I asked

"Because-" She paused and turned to look at me, I nodded for her to go on.

"Because I feel like when I'm gone, no one will remember me, I'll be forgotten but if I write my name on trees, then someone, anyone will know I existed once and that's good enough for me."

"I'll remember you, always." I whispered, refraining from grabbing her small frame and planting soft kisses all over her body till she heals.
Oh, how I wish I could heal her.
