Time is precious. I thought we had so much but by the time I found you our time had passed.

I spent so long denying my feelings but by the time I pulled myself together and we got together, our time was already limited.

We should have had the rest of our lives together instead we had months before this happened.

I never pictured this happening and I know it sounds cheesy, but I thought we'd be together forever, I never thought you'd be gone or going this soon.

You being there for me and being with me was always a given but as the monitor in the corner of the room beeps it doesn't look to be such a sure thing anymore.

This was never meant to happen because you promised me you'd never leave my side and you promised again when you became ill and now the doctors don't think you have long left and you aren't even awake. Brian and Steve take it in turns to come and keep my company and of course see you but I don't want them; I just want you. Now I have one of my rare slots of time alone with you, I just want to scoop you up into my arms but the wires and tubes in your body scare me and remind me just how fragile you are.

The familiar and comforting smell of smoke no longer hangs in the room or even around you and I know it won't be long until it's gone from everywhere.

"Miss Pullman?" The doctors voice scared me but I've turned around to face him, all the while holding your hand. "There's no chance of recovery, I think it's time to turn life support off."
