he smiled as he looked up at her beautiful face.
although he never admitted it,
he loved her with everything in his being.
she stared at him with tears forming in her steely grey eyes,
and he thought for a moment it was a different time.
how tragic.
as he slowly lost life,
he asked for forgiveness
for his many mistakes.
as his view faded,
his eyes locked onto her.
his biggest mistake, he realized,
was leaving her.
