ONE

I looked him in the eyes struggling to keep the tears at bay. I laughed with a mixture of a sob, " Death must be so beautiful." I whispered as I put my hand on his cheek and held it there for a few seconds till I dragged my hand down and my thumb touched his bottom lip.
" To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace." I knew what I was about to do would shatter his heart, but in order for valentine to be stopped I needed to do this.
" Oh my love" I smiled at him and gently kissed his lips.

" Death is but the next great adventure"
