I cross out the date: June 23, 20XX. My calendar is empty. Each date is meticulously crossed from existence, not a single one containing anything worth remembering. Today was no different. As the marker seals the end of the day, I feel a feeling in the pit of my stomach begin to rise. There is just one box I'm looking forward to. Just one day of note. June 24, 20XX. Scribbled excitedly in red pen, it reads: "Beach Day!! :)"

How did we get to this? Or rather, when? After you, I realized that time, circumstances, or simply us, because we are not perfect beings, but we try to be the best version of ourselves day by day, can be destined to be together and last as long as we are willing. Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me. I saw that old, worn-out bench sitting empty; it was impossible not to remember the afternoons we spent there, laughing, dreaming, enjoying each other's company. From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.
