I took a little different approach on this one. Can be read alone or as a prequel to "Forever".
I'm all depressed now. :( I really should try to write happier stuff.

I'm...so tired.
It's hard to find the strength to even open my eyes now. I know I'm losing this fight, and knowing that...well...it hurts, more than all of these physical pains.
There's warmth trickling out of my mouth...I can feel it pooling in my ear. It tickles. I wish I could reach up and wipe it away... It's funny how much you take things for granted.
Cloud...
Did I take him for granted, too?
The ground doesn't feel so cold anymore. It doesn't feel so wet anymore either. Or maybe I just can't tell...
Maybe the battle's over now. It's gotten so quiet. Did we win?
...Did they?
My heart hurts. I never believed that one could really feel their heart breaking...but now that I've failed...I've failed him...I've failed all of them...it hurts.
It hurts so much...
We said we'd always have each other's backs...and now I've let him down...now I've let them all down.
Still...
He'll come.
He said he would...
