[Falling.]
I...I love you. I want you to know I will always be with you.
[I give her the key that I wear around my neck]
I know you lost yours. It's okay. Take mine, so you don't forget me.
[Pain grabs my body; I flinch.]
Uh... Jesus... I know I have to go really soon.
Just think of it as our phone calls; I'll talk to you later.
Promise.
Now hold me as I leave; but don't cry.
[Gone.]
Author notes
Promp ptions:
1) You are lying in hospital, knowing you only have a few hours to live, write something aimed at the person you will miss the most, telling them you are going to miss them, you love them, you will always be watching over them etc etc etc.
This is what I'd say to one of my friends before I died... well a bit of what I'd say.
