I ran to her

She looked so frail and weak

Blood gushing out of her chest

I couldn't help it

I cried

I called her name

She averted her eyes to meet mine

She whispered those words

And then she died

Then I woke up

It was just a dream

A nightmare of a memory that happened years ago

She made me promise her to find another love

A love that surpasses hers

But I couldn't

I didn't

I loved her so much that it hurt to find another

I brought my knees to my chest

Thinking of those words she said

Her last words

I remembered her speaking like it was yesterday

'I love you'

I remembered her last words

My promise

Like there's nothing else in the world

Her beautiful face

Her loving eyes

Her last breath

'I'm sorry,' I whispered

But my words disappeared into nothingness

Just like her words

Just like my promise

Just like her
