Title:
Remembering

Summary:
When you die you only have a short time to remember.
They said that when you die your life flashes before your eyes. I now know that that's a lie. You see, when you die you only have this short time to remember things, and you tend to dwell on all you've left undone.
You may very well ask what I left undone, it'd be your right -- after all you're having to deal with my post mortem musings. The chief thing I left undone was kissing you. There are so many times I could have, so many times I thought of it. Each time though, I lost my courage. Courage is more your line than mine. Mine is loyalty, and as you can see you still have my loyalty though death has taken me from your side, your life, your heart.
In that last moment as I felt my life wrested from me I thought of you, saving you. Then I remembered, remembered lost opportunities. I sent you to bathroom, I sent you to take a bath -- as much as ordered you to do it. All I could see as I told you the password was your body covered in bubbles, and what was underneath the bubbles.
I thought about joining you, or lying in wait in the bathroom every night until you came. Then slipping into the bath with you, and seeing exactly how 'clean' we could get.
Yet I didn't, and all that I would have done is now mute. All I have is this confession, and the hope that you can understand, and maybe just once in a while think of me.
