Lying in the grass under a crescent moon.
Staring up at the stars and wishing on each one.
Feeling the cool night air blow across my face.
The scent of the earth surrounds me.

Listening to the faraway sounds of cars on the highway.
Closing my eyes to relive times spent with you.

Lost in my memories, I never heard the car.
I didn't see it swerve to avoid the cat in the road.
I never saw the headlights focused on me.

When I opened my eyes, people were all around me.
A light kept flashing in the distance.
I couldn't hear the people.
I couldn't feel the pain.
I knew I should have been feeling something.
But I didn't.
Not even fear.

Then everything started to fade away.
I heard your voice, calling my name.
"I missed you." you whispered as you gently took my hand.
Leading me into a bright, welcoming light.

I glanced back to see my body, lying in the grass.
Paramedics were standing around it.
A man was talking to a police officer.
He's the one I have to thank for bringing us together again.

You gently tug at my hand.
I look into your eyes for the first time in so long.
They are still filled with love, just like I remember.
You smile at me, just like you did on the day you died.
Your last words to me were, "We'll be together again someday."

You were right.

As you lead me into the light, and the world I knew starts to dissolve,
I can't help but feel overwhelming happiness.
Because now I'll have you forever.
For the rest of eternity.
