It's so easy to fall asleep in arms of people you love. That night ended with a hint of sorrow and a new hunt. It was early morning when I heard people mumbling. All I remembered was talking to him on the rooftop about my fear of losing him and then this. What did I expect? Waking up to his good morning kiss? Well, to be very honest, I did.
I expected him to wake me up and end the lullaby that put me to sleep. I loved him, and he said he loved me too. Wasn't that enough for him to stay?
I woke up and he was still by my side. I was so relieved. But these people, their presence was killing me. I turned to him to wake him up.
I called out his name and asked him to wake up but he didn't seem to notice. He seemed to be asleep like a koala who hibernates half his life. I cried to him to. I craved for his words.
I touched him and he was cold. I couldn't hear him breathe. I mourned. I called for an ambulance.
Was it too late? Did it take me very long to realise him being unconscious? Was my love incapable of making him stay only for one night?
I remember the day I saw him, I knew I had to know him. And I also remember the day he told me he was dying. I couldn't stop crying but he? He has been the strongest person I've ever encountered in my whole life. He said he doesn't want to get treated which was a pretty stupid decision. He said he didn't want to put anyone in trouble because of his health issues but he promised to make this rest of his days the best. Promised to make my days better.
Couldn't he stay for one more day? A day, that is all I wished. He really used the last few days of his life to make me the happiest and I was so incapable of making his one night beautiful.
"Ma'am, Roan is asking for you. This moment might be his last moment with you. Don't cry infront of him, he would not be able to stay strong either."
I ran to him and cursed him for scaring me.
"I hate you. You scared me to bits. "
"I'm leaving love. Won't you gift me your pretty smile as a present?"
" I couldn't stop shedding tears. I pulled myself closer to him, looked up straight into his eyes and told him that I would never forgive him for leaving me. Then I bent over and for the first time our lips met. I kissed him for good five minutes before the kiss became salty due to our tears.
"I wish you could stay. I can never feel the same about anyone else now. You've shown me the real meaning of love. You've been looking out for me. I'm gonna miss you Ro. I'm going to miss you." And I broke down.
He was in tears too. I could tell by the way he hid his face and turned it away from me.
" Now that was a kiss I won't forget " he winked.
"Honey, it's a difficult world out there but I know my baby's strong enough to survive. Just remember people aren't always looking out for you but they're looking at you, always. Now won't you give me my goodbye kiss?" And I saw a tear roll down his cheek.
It was no time for words. I kissed him and called in for the doctor. He was out of breath. I love you and always will were his last words.
He told me to find myself another Roan. I couldn't ever do that. He was such an amazing arrangement of atoms that nobody could ever replace him.
It have been 5 years today since that night and every time the moon shines brighter than ever on this date. Seems as if it is remembering all the details of the night and it graciously enjoying every bit of it.
I am still not able to find another Roan. And even today all my breaths are his.
But you know what the funniest part is? After his death there were rumours that I murdered him. As if I could. People don't seem to understand your bond and speak all kind of things that you can not even imagine. But the stars tell me each night that I'm not alone and that somewhere there, he's looking out for me in a world where everyone is just looking at me.
