Authors note:
The second line is a lyric from The Hush Sound's song Don't Wake Me Up. Check them out if you like :) That's all.
Journal,
I swore I could feel you breathe, it was all so real to me.
I know it could never happen. Somewhere deep inside me I know that it is a crazy thought and I am only hurting myself for thinking it further. But is it worth it? When I get to that place, I really feel as if it were real, as if you were really there right beside me, holding my hand and telling me that everything was going to be okay. You were whispering to me, your lips gently brushing my ear. "I am still alive, one year I promise." Of course I am back out to reality eventually and yes it hurts. But for those few moments I really, truly believe it is happening. And those few moments are priceless, those are the moments that I live for.
John Watson
Sherlock set down the journal and wiped the tear from his eye. He took a step towards the bed,leaned over, and kissed Johns forehead tenderly. "I love you more than I ever thought possible" he murmured into his ear. "God I miss you so much, I couldn't take this for more than a year." He started to tear up again. "These are the moments I live for too John. One year"
He scrawled on a piece of paper and set it on John's nightstand. The next morning when John would wake he would see those two words.
I promise.
