Holding your hand in mine as you take your last breath. Anxiously waiting for you to cross over to the over side. Surrounded by white and tubes. Tears fall from my face as your breathes slow then pick up the pace. Your soft blue eyes roll into the back of your head. I have always dreaded this day.

I lean closer to your ear and whispered, “I love you.” The room felt empty. The whole world felt empty. Like it was just the two of us in the world. Just like old times. You squeezed my hand slightly. I held on till there no grip anymore. The heart monitor went from beep, beep, beep to a single beep. Your last breath finally left. My heart broke but knew you were in better hands now.

I sombered, “May you rest in piece, my love. Soon my time will come, and I’ll be able to join you on the other side.”
