I am walking through a cemetery with only the howling wind and the vast ominous graves to keep me company. The snowflakes fall upon my face, melting, blending with the tears that drip from my chin onto my coat. Soon the tears in my eyes and the snowfall beating against me make it impossible to see through my glasses. I remove my eyeglasses and place them into my coat pocket, walking towards a destination I wish I'd never arrive at. My head swam, as it had since the accident, with thoughts of my lost love. We hadn't left each others side for years, and now I knew I'd never hold her in my arms again. This thought overwhelmed me and I dropped to my knees, sobbing, in front of the engraved stone bearing my lover's name. I could taste her sweet lips, and feel her kisses, her loving touch. I could smell the strawberry scent of her hair as if she were in front of me right now, but I knew she was six feet under my bent knees, and that I'd never love again. I threw my arms around her headstone; the ice covering it gave me a numb feeling, but this was no solace for my grief. Her lips on mine, everything seemed alright, but now my lips would never have that comfort. My own arms now held me in a close embrace, trying to make me feel the love no one would ever again feel for me. We promised each other on the day we married that we'd never leave each others side and I now planned to keep my promise. As I lowered my ear to the frozen ground, I could almost hear her soft voice in my ear as the black abyss of eternal sleep slowly crept over me. I whispered her name, knowing we'd soon be reunited.
