death had just shred a tear

Maybe not this year or the next but one day they'd end up married. In this lifetime and every one after it. Just knowing that I'd get to watch them find each other and fall in love in every life made me smile.

It was like she'd become the sun, and I started revolving around her. She was my center.

Or maybe I’d lost my soul already. I doubted God let someone like me keep any gift from him. It was highly likely I’d been born without one.

Hold her for me. Hold her tight. Don't let her be lonely. Don't let her hurt. Please.

Then the fear all humans felt when met with Death’s gaze came over his face. That’s right buddy, I’m Death, now move away from my girl.

I might never breathe again once he walked away from me.
