Her lips finally shut after only seconds of motion.
The river on her face proves her words were true.
Where are we?
The room suddenly feels smaller.
Every memory we shared raced through my mind and it put an unexpected smile on my face.
Why are my teeth showing?
I am simply happy to be around her, even with the news she has brought to me.
Now I know that it truly is love between us, and I am fully prepared to remain in the same world as her until she is forced to leave.
I cannot stop looking at her beautifully frightened, worried and nervous face.
At least I know I don’t love a robot, but a human being.
While her eyes are lowered in belief that I would be afraid to care for her as I had before this moment, mine are stuck on her, wet with even greater affection than before.
The hand that is not tangled in her own is touching through her bright red hair, feeling what will soon not exist.
Her body is tense but mine is relaxed, because while she does not know how strong she is, I know that cancer cannot possibly defeat everything.
