Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters shown in my story. They are merely pawns for my amusement here to get some of my deep feelings out.
Sometimes I wonder how it happened. I look down at him, in his dead form, wondering how this happened. Why did he die on me? Right when things were perfect, he died on me.
We've been living together for so long that I didn't think I'd have to get used to the idea of him leaving my side. Especially not now when I needed him the most.
We've been so happy living here in France, we were perfectly happy. We never fought, never tried to change each other, never tried to explain things that didn't need explaining.
Sometimes I miss him more than I can explain. I cry myself to sleep now, and then find myself awake three hours later. I can't seem to sleep without waking up and finding he's not by my side anymore.
He and I were going on fourteen years of blissful marriage. Then one day he looked at me and his eyes went glossy and I lost him. I had him buried with his favorite book and I let him rest at peace in our backyard.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. It happened so suddenly...and Hannibal and I cried over it, yes Hannibal Lecter did cry, and I think it was then he knew our time together was growing shorter and shorter. He had lost a lot of his energy and he couldn't stay active as long as he used to. I loved him anyway. I kissed him the same way and looked at him the same way...I love that man. In life and in death I loved him and love him still. I will never forget what he did for me.
He saved me. In more ways then I knew I needed saving...that man made me whole, and I love him dearly for that. He was crazy at times, made me want to kill him at others, but we made up and that was the sweetest part.
I'm getting ready to lie down now...I don't want to fight this battle alone anymore, and I won't do it. So now, dear world, remember us not as monsters, not as the beauty and the beast but as two people rejected by society and lucky enough to find each other and live as they say...happily ever after...
