Have you ever been in love with someone who’s dying? I have.
I suppose that everyone is dying really, but I’ve always thought that the beauty of life is never knowing when it’s going to happen. One day, god decided to take that beauty away from me. And it all began with three words.
“I have cancer” he whispered. Oddly enough the day James told me he wasn’t going to make it past six months was the same day I realised I was in love with him. After he told me I was speechless, so he carried on “I have cancer” James repeated before smirking “I have fucking cancer!” he shouted as he closed his eyes and collapsed against the wall, slowly sliding down until he reached a sitting position on the floor. I carefully put down the plate I was holding and walked over to him, joining him on the floor. I silently took his hand in mine before he muttered “I’m sorry”
“Why?” I frowned and turned to face James. He looked down before finally glancing at me.
“Never mind” he shrugged, standing up, pulling my hand out of his and heading back over to the sink. I blinked back a minute tear before following him and that was that. We finished the washing up.
