You're on your deathbed
You've lived a long and happy life
It's been a year since you've last seen Kronii
You look up at the white tiles
You limply turn your neck to the side
It's her
She's staring at you
Her face blank and her eyes devoid of life
You don't care how long she was there for or how
You smile weakly, and with what little strength you have you raise your hand and gently caress her cheek
"Hey babe" You can see the corner of her mouth slightly curl upwards
"Hey" she answers back trying to put up a strong face
Then the tears came
So much
You've never ever seen her like this
She collapses into her chest
Even though it's hard the breathe, it almost feels like nothing was weighing down on your chest
You understood a long time ago
"I know you were trying to save me"
"That was why you were gone since the diagnosis"
She just cries
"Even time can't beat death huh?" You wax poetical to no one in particular
"I'm sorry" is the only thing she can say at all through her sobbing
"Don't be" you reply
"I guess it's my fault for being a mere mortal"
"Hey" You lift her head up, so you can see her eye to eye
Her eyes are bloodshot
All of that haughtiness and arrogance
Replaced by pain and despair
"Thank you" you wanted to say so many things, but it was those words that came through
"Sorry for leaving you like this, always remember. No matter the timeline. I'll be there for you, not even death can take away my love" You plant your lips into hers
It is the last kiss you will ever give
You die a happy man
