5 Months Later

Today marks the 8 months Tyler and I would of been married. Jenna was very excited. She decorated her entire house with nothing but tree branches.

The sight of them didn't please me. Not because they were horrible, but because they reminded me of Tyler.

She even played Tyler's song on her phone. I told her to shut it off. Not because I didn't want to hear it, but because it reminded me of Tyler.

Ukulele and piano were great. But I just didn't want it. Because they reminded me of Tyler. Jenna wanted to do something. But I shooed her away. How I wish I would not have done that.

At night, I laid in bed as Jenna slept. Tears were pouring from my eyes. I just wanted Tyler to be with me. I wish he never died. I wish Zack didn't die. Honestly, I wish I would've never fallen in love with Tyler in the first place.

Suddenly, I heard a voice.

"Josh?"

I slammed my face into my pillow.

"No please go away."

"Josh, look at me."

"Get out!" I shouted.

"Josh please, I need you to listen."

"No!"

I cried and screamed. I just wanted him to disappear and never come back. But when I felt his warm hand touch me, I lifted my face up to him.

Tyler sat among my bedside. He looked so beautiful. I fell into his arms.

"I know your sad Josh." He said. "It ain't gonna bring me back. Nothing can bring me back. I don't want you to mourn over me forever."

"I don't want you to leave me." I begged.

Tyler touched my cheek.

"Josh, I'm afraid you're gonna have to let me go. Don't let my death harm you forever."

"Tyler I love you."

"I love you too, my beloved husband." He said. "I'll always be with you. Right there."

He touched my heart, giving me the power to feel him when I'm alone. He kissed me softly on the forehead before disappearing.

Jenna woke up to see me staring off to the ceiling.

"Josh? Are you okay?"

I turned and smiled at her.

"Tyler is here."

Jenna smiled back.

"He'll always be here.

Jenna and I embraced each other, sharing the feeling of Tyler's soul together.

After that day, my life changed forever. I was no longer in a deathly state. I was normal. Jenna and I lived out our lives as different people.

Everyone saw us as loving, generous people, who would share the world of love to others.
Tyler to this day continues to live in me.

I do miss him everyday, but I know he'll always remain in my heart.
