Description
“I had a dream last night. About you. Well, not exactly about you, but you were there. It’s an odd sort of dream—hardly an escape from reality. After all, I was still sick. Actually, I was worse than I am now—perhaps worse than the day we met. But there was something different than all the times before. You were there. You were there in the hospital bed with me. Not doing anything, really, just lying there with your head on my chest—rising and falling as I breathed. You’re there, and for some reason, that made everything okay. You know? Just knowing that someone—you, especially—were simply with me made all the difference in the world. It’s like I can hear within every breath you take: “I’m here, I’m here, I’m here.” And I realize that there are no two words as comforting as those: “I’m here”. And I know that everyone leaves eventually and that sooner or later we’ll all be gone, but I’ve decided that I want you to be there when I go. Just be there, and maybe it won’t be so bad. I think it’s time to be happy again.”
