I know that this will not be forever - your lifeless body, eyes shut peacefully, melancholic smile, orange hair stained with speckles of deep red, the front of your uniform a strange shade of maroon.

It can't be, after all. This is another nightmare.

I close my eyes, willing myself to wake up. Dreams end, after all.

I don't care if I have to wait a minute, or years. Dreams end. Nightmares only last so long. This one will not be any different. I press my forehead against yours, eyes shut.

Because you - the reason I live - aren't allowed to die.
