I don't own them…
But they're in my heart.
One

The red nose of the car was pointed out to the ocean. A soft sunset caressed so gently on the horizon. A sheen of gold blanketed the water as it rolled ever so slightly.
"I hurt so damn bad."
'I know. It just proves that you're still alive.'
"The pain just sits there. It never goes away. Feels like it'll never end. There's a hole so big, I'm getting sucked into it."
'I know. I feel it too. But you know what will help heal it?'
"What's that?"
'Remembering the love we have.'
"I will never forget it. It's what keeps me together."
'What we have, will carry us on. It will help. I promise.'
"I'm afraid."
'I know. But I'm with you and we'll take it one day at a time.'
"I promised that I will always love you no matter what."
'I know you will. Whenever I was confused, you always cleared my mind. Whenever I was down, you held me up. You always put me before yourself. I needed you and you were always there. Now you're going to have to take that love you have for me and turn it onto yourself. I needed you, but I think it was you who needed me. You needed me to complete you. So now I will. Feel me. Feel that love deep down inside? That's me. Let me carry you forward.'
The hot tears choked him. They strangled the breath from him. His heart screamed in agony.
'I may not be with you physically, but with you every other way. When you feel the need for pizza and beer, that's me. When you feel the need for speed, that's me. Drive the tomato like you own it. When you finally let yourself love someone again, that's me guiding you. I'm in you now. I will stay until we can be together again. Time is only a number. Love is forever. Always remember, Me and Thee Hutch.'
