'Let me rest in your arms'
They said, when two lovers loved to watch the sunrise/sunset they became together and forever.
I never believe on that myth not until the day I meet you.

It was a rainy day and I forgot to bring my umbrella. When I saw a coffee shop nearby, I decided to take shelter first and bought a coffee.
I sat and just stared at the rain while reflecting on my work.

I was shocked when someone spoke in front of me. I didn't noticed your presence. You pointed the chair to see if anyone was sitting there. I just shook my head to let you know that no one occupied the chair.

You sat down and introduce yourself to me. That was the day I felt we had a connection to each other. We exchanged numbers and every day we became closer.

October 14th, I remember the date that I said yes to you. One of the happiest days of my life to meet someone like you. We reconciled on other things and understand each other in every fight. Yes, I found my right man and it was you.

We have been together for two years. All of that was with the help of the two of us. But, one of the most painful things that happened to us is when you got Leukemia.

But you proved to me that you can overcome all the pain you are going through. I didn't even show you my grief but every night I drown in my own tears.
I can't count how many 'what ifs' that I thought.

We didn't broke our promises. We continue to fight but it hurts a lot to see that you fight for me every day even if it's hard for you. How many times have I prayed to God that he would give us the opportunity to be together until we get older. But I know it won't happen.

I thought of taking you to a quiet place where the sunset could be seen. You even asked me before what we were going to do in that place. I told you we would breathe fresh air. You were leaning on my shoulder as I hug your skinny body.

Great place for people who love each other deeply. You can see the setting sun. As if you are being brought into the other world in peace. I couldn’t help but cry in pain. This is the last moment to be with you my love.

I wiped away my tears even though they were still dripping as I uttered the words "If you're tired my love, you can rest now." I almost sobbed. This is too much, too much pain. I can still feel your tears dripping because of my wet clothes.

You told me “Sorry” because you didn’t keep your promise. But love, even if our promise isn't fulfilled, you will still remain in my heart. You hugged me tightly while saying the last word "Let me rest in your arms."

As the sun goes down, you slowly release your hands that are wrapped around my body. Then, I let out the tears I was holding back earlier. It hurts, it hurts a lot as I hold your lifeless body. My love, I will never forget you.

I will never forget how much you loved and cared for me. I hope in the next life you are still the person I can stay with. Even if you're gone I will still celebrate our Anniversaries and hoping that you're still here. Wait for me there and until we meet again my love.
