I watched her from the inside of the jeep.

She froze for a few seconds, seemingly wondering what was happening. Everything within her came to a pause, and soon began again as she slowly started moving forward.

I slammed my hands on the wheel and let my head fall down. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was having trouble believing it did.

I looked up at her. Bewilderedly, she was still slowly walking.

I couldn't let it end like this.

I started the car and drove up to her, though everything was taking place in slow motion. Just as I pulled over, she realized it was me. She turned around with fear-provoking anticipation.

I stood next to the car, and she looked into my eyes. She shrugged, signaling she didn't know what I had to do to make things better. I did the same, shaking my head, fighting tears.

I walked up to her. We stood there for a moment. She slowly moved toward me, afraid of what she knew was happening.

Another moment, and we were in a tight embrace.

I wrapped my arms around her, held her in a tight embrace. We stood like that for a minute, moving slower than everything around us. I tried to hold her tighter every second; I wasn't ready to face a dark, cold world without her.

She partially pulled herself away from me for a second. "Is this it?" She said, looking into my eyes.

I tried to look at her. I wanted to tell her that everything was okay; that we could get through this…I readied myself to do so. I looked into her eyes for a split-second, and I looked at the ground again.

I couldn't lie to her.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see her tears violently coming down her face. She held me more closely, as did I.

I wasn't supposed to let it end. I was going to marry her, we were going to have a family, we were going to be happy and together for the rest of our lives…but it had all vanished.

I let my head lay on top of hers. I thought I'd never be able to let her go.

I thought about all the times we'd had…precious, sacred moments that I had taken for granted until now.

I tried to sink in everything about now, the last of those moments we would ever have, and probably the one I'd most regret but always look back on.

She held me tighter and looked up at me. I finally had the courage to look at her. She moved into a kiss; again, yet another last for us. I didn't want to end it; I didn't want to end it all. But maybe it wasn't meant to be.

But it ends. I move in to whisper something in her ear, the only thing I can think right now. "I'll never stop falling in love you…"

And then, I have to force myself using everything inside of me to break away from my universe.
