Remember when we first met?

You were so shy. Your blonde hair falling down to your small shoulders. Ocean blue eyes shimmering with curiosity and delicate, small pink lips beaming with light. Your smooth, pale skin softer than a baby's bottom. Your Tiffany blue dress flowing down to your knees.

I remember running along the calm river leaping above rocks. I remember you were screaming my name, your childish voice echoing through the silent night. I remember you fell and your knee was crying blood. You soft melodic cries brought pain to my heart. I carried you home on my back, your small, pale hands clutched onto my damp shirt and your warm breath tickled my neck.

I remember we studied together. We both helped each other out at hard times. I remember your room was filled with romance novels and butterflies. Your Barbie dolls and teddy bears packed neatly in a box. I remember you told me that you wanted to be an author. I remember we drew and told stories at night filling our heads with the most remarkable fantasies.

I remember you were picked on at school. I remember you were crying and begged to go home. I remember I helped you in the hard times. I remember you were hurt badly and went to the aid room. You were sick of this torture, you wanted to leave. I was heartbroken. I remember your blue eyes filled with tears. Your eyes were shot red like blood. I remember begging you not to leave me.

I remember watching you sing. Your smooth, honey-like voice filled my ears. My heart was filled with joy. I knew this was love. Your words, your laughter, your gestures they filled my head. They made me dizzy but I knew I loved you.

I remember we were standing under a tree. I remember those three words that were whispered in my ear.
"I love you."
They completed me.....but all good things must come to an end...

I remember we were holding hands. I could have stopped it. I could have pushed you aside. The loud, deep honking and the lights flashed before my eyes, I watched with horror as your delicate body disappear before my eyes. Your body was limp and all I could do was kneel down and cry. We were so close, so near yet so far.

I heard the loud wailing of the sirens in the distance. I remember the men frantically loading you on. All I could do was follow your lead. I was speechless, I couldn't do anything. I remember watching your limp body being taken away, your face caked with crimson blood.

I remember the your parents scrambling into the waiting room. Your mother's face covered with tears, your father's hair disheveled and his suit crumpled. I remember continuously apologizing to them, their warm, comforting hands stroking my back. I remember the long painful hours of waiting outside your room.

I remember the doctor waking out with a solemn expression.

I remember walking into the white room, your body laying on the small hospital bed. I remember whispering " I love you" over and over into your small ear. I remember the heart monitor slowing down, the beeps decreasing. I remember the heart monitor going flat making my heart stop for a second. I remember the loud wails of your mother and father. I remember tears sliding down my face with no stop. I remember them covering your beautiful, still, pale body with a thin, whit blanket.

I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. No matter what, whether your here or somewhere else, I will never forget.

I will always remember...
