“Love sought is good, but given unsought is better” I had a decision to make, one that would have a major impact. I sat here on the hospital bed with my parents on either side as the doctor gave us the grim news,... I only had a year to live. A year to do things that I only dreamed I would have a lifetime to complete. What about love? What about having a career, owning a house, or even having my own family? I knew that I couldn’t just fall in love with the first person I saw which I wouldn’t want to anyways… I couldn’t put them through that pain; I knew it would take more than a year to start a career, and I also knew that I couldn’t start my own family. In the end I came to the conclusion that I would end the suffering before it got worse… So here I stood on the roof of the hospital overlooking the city ready to take my life when a deep voice scares me from behind. “Are you going to jump?” I don’t have time to react when a weak spell hit and my legs started to give out beneath me. I didn’t fall like I planned though, instead the boy caught me; ruining my plans. So now as I face the year ahead of me, no longer holding the courage to die… I am faced with a new problem. The problem being the boy who saved my life only for me to die later on, I only wish he knew what he did.

He’s gone. That was the only thing that kept occupying my mind in this Valentine’s Day – the supposed to be happy and loving day. He was supposed to be here, sitting by my side, whispering softly to me how much he loved me – like what he used to do. But that’s not going to happen.
