“You are my soulmate, David. I don’t need anyone else. You’ve given me enough love to last a lifetime.” He doesn’t argue. He closes his eyes. I stare at his beautiful face for a long time until sleep tugs at my own lids, forcing them shut. As I’m drifting off, he whispers, “You are right. My love for you will transcend. You’ll be loved even when I’m gone.”
