Love Forever - Burning Heart

I wake up with a dextrose on my hand and to find my self inside a room of a hospital, looking around I saw my precious beloved crying and weeping, I want to ask her but my mouth is numb, I want to touch her but my hand was numb, I want to tell I her but I got nothing to say, I can no longer speak, I can no longer breath, because I am now a living spirit.

I came to the park one evening to meet my love and have a dinner on a restaurant, I stand waiting for her, our meeting time is 10 PM but I came early to make our dinner special and very adoring. 9:45 PM came, all was at its almost perfect state and the only the only thing that is missing to make this night more beautiful is my love.

“Fifteen minutes till 10 and I hope my Helen will be happy with our date.”

The clock tower struck its bell ten time but I can’t see my loved, where is she? Where is my heart? I can feel a knife piercing deeper inside my heart, but I know patience, and I still waited. 10:15 PM came and there I saw her, late but never impure, beautiful but always forever. I run to her to kiss her hand, and also escort her to our special place.

While walking with her by side I felt an ecstasy of pure happiness, not lust, but I felt love, we came to the place I set lately and gladly we start our date, we talk much about our life, our difference, our similarities and other things. As time goes by I feel closer to Helen.

“John, I love this place, nice food, and nice serving. It cost you a lot” Helen said

“Thanks for the compliment, but all of this is only nothing compared to you..” I replied

The night went on, and my heart grew happy and I felt happier, alas it’s time to go home, I called a taxi and escorted my love to her house. Unto her door, a one last kiss to make my night very perfect, I got home with a divine smile on my face.

Getting ready to sleep I felt something trembling deep inside my glorious heart, feeling goose bumps I open the T.V. to watch something to cleanse my mind, browsing to channels I notice a show it interfere my browse and made me laugh, it was a cartoon, a favorite show of mine when I’m still a little child but then the most shocking news flash, a flash report interrupted my show, it was about a house burning near my place, I look outside the window and found out that it was Helen’s house.

I quickly get up and took wet clothes with me to help stop the fire, I went on to the house and there I saw Helen’s mother.

“Mrs. Felice where is Helen? Is she alright?”
“Oh my God, help us John, Helen is still inside please hurry save her.”

I took the clothes with me and wrap them around my body, I ram the door and easily I got in but upon my entrance burning pile of woods covered my only way out I quickly rush to every room to look for her, the first floor is burning and glad to notice that there are no living things below I rush to the last floor to search for her, I search and search but there we’re no one I could see, searching everywhere I saw a trap door with all my force I opened it and found out that it was a chamber metal and also a escape way, I shouted.

“Helen!!!”

Then I heard a small voice I shouted again.

“HELEN!!!”

Then I heard a much clearer reply

“I’m down here its safe here, the fire can’t burn this place and I can see a light near here faster.”

Then a light and irritating sound gets nearer to Helen. With no time to think I jump to the tunnel, grab her and ask her to hold on to my back I went back up the ladder of the trap door, a train pass by and it was gone now. Almost crushing her to death, good thing I came fast to save her. But all the adrenaline that I push on through ended, she slips out of my back and she fell, and with no more power to keep on standing I lost my grip on the ladder I fall to the ground.

I woke up with quite a pain on me, I thought it was all just a dream but it was truly reality, Lain on a bed, I smell the same essence I felt when every time I go to a hospital, I saw Helen sitting and crying beside my bed and holding my hand. Her hands felt warm but her tears are deeply agonizing I harden the grasp of my hand to let her feel that I’m also alive. I want to speak to tell her I love her but I felt that it was not my time to tell her that I love her but it was her time to tell that she loves me, she go close to me and kiss me on my lips. The agony of her tears inside my heart fades away and a smile was left on my face after removing her lips from me. And I said to Helen.

“I will never die because I know you need me, and I can’t die because you’re always with me, inside of me and inside my heart. I love you Helen.”

That very same time she hugs me, my body has not yet fully recovered but the pain fades every second I feel her besides me and loving me.
