Just a very short emotional story that was running through my mind when I was listening to a touching song. It was going to be a whole story, but fit better as a One-shot. So please enjoy and grab some tissues.

I held her trembling hand, helplessly watching her take what could be her very last breath, a constant throbbing pain stabbing at my heart, with each shallow rise of her chest.

I remembered the good and bad times we've had in such a short time with a bittersweet reassuring smile on my face, as I gazed down at hers, memorizing every line, every pass of her once radiant skin, tears gathering at the corners of my eyes/

But I refused to let them fall.

I refused to let them my weakness show, when she needed me at my strongest.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. "I promised you forever, but forever wasn't as long as it seemed"

"The years we spent together, they were better than all the time in the world." She whispered back, a small smiled gracing her pale lips. "You've changed my life drastically in the short time that was given to us, and I love you for that. You stayed with me throughout my battle with this diesease, knowing there was a chance I would go sooner or later, and loved me regardless."

I cradled her in my arms carefully, afraid she would break In her fragile state. I kissed her forehead, lingering, just to remember the soft feel of her skin against my lips.

"Do you remember the first time you told me you loved me?"

"Of course I do Honey! How could I forget?"

Such a radiant smile, one that I would remember forever, broke out on her face. "Because its something I'll never forget, not even in the next life. It was almost sunset at the park, and we were counting down the seconds. When I got to number one, you leaned over and whispered, 'I love you, now and forever.' turned to you smiling like a kid on Christmas day, and then we made love under the orange and pink horizon at five o`clock on a Sunday."

I watched as her skin grew paler, and her smile weaker.

"I'll always love you Jacob...Never forget..." She said in a soft voice that got carried away in the breeze around us, as her chest fell with her last breath.

I let my tears fall finally fall, The anguish almost too much for me to bare. I pressed my warm, trembling lips to her cold, for the last time before leaning towards her ear.

"I love you...Now and forever." I whispered.

It was then, at sunset, when I lost my wife Isabella Marie Black, to the inevitable battle of cancer, under the orange and pink horizon, at exactly five o`clock on a cold, Sunday evening.
