"I love you," he whispered.

"Never… enough though … huh?" she said with a weak laugh.

"No, always too much," he corrected, as he stroked her cheek. Her eyes closed under the

touch of his burning hand. With the little strength she had left, she pusher herself up onto

her elbows. Knowing what she wanted he took her gently in his arms and lent down to

press his lips against hers. Her beautiful, brown eyes opened one more time. Just long

enough for her to utter her final words. " I… love…you too." With that her eyes closed,

never to open again. He stood up and walked to the door.

"Goodbye my first love, my true love, my only love. Goodbye …Leah" he whispered

through tears, as he shut the door behind him.
