NOT WITHOUT YOU
Sirens wailed in the distance as she knelt beside him, his breathing shallow and labored. The Scene was chaotic, with paramedics rushing around them, trying to stabilize him.
Deep down although, she knew it was too late.
He managed to open his eyes, meeting hers. Barely above a whisper, he spoke, "I'm dying. There's nothing you can do anymore. Just hold me, please."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she gently cradled his head in her arms. "No, no, you're going to be okay. They are here to save you. I will not walk this earth without you." She choked out, voice trembling.
He weakly shook his head, a faint smile crossing his lips. "It's alright," he whispered. "I just want to be in your arms."
In that moment, as the world swirled around them, they held onto each other, finding solace and comfort in the love that had defined they're lives.
