LOVING YOU...
<p>"That one is my favorite!" </p><p><br/></p><p>I stared at item on the shelf while listening to her unending reasons why that particular chocolate bar was her favorite. </p><p>Not like I had a problem with that anyways. I loved listening to her rants and not-so-small talks. Her angelic voice was to die for.</p><p><br/></p><p> I smiled lightly at the chocolate bar and picked it, dropping it into my shopping cart. </p><p> The cashier glanced at the shopping cart and then at the only item I had pulled out of it; the chocolate bar. </p><p> Her eyes met mine and I gave her a tight smile. "It's her favorite. And she likes to always push a shopping cart."</p><p><br/></p><p> The lady nodded slowly as she scanned the item but I could tell she found me weird. Not like it mattered. Nobody's thought or opinion about me mattered except one woman's. </p><p><br/></p><p> I drove back home in nothing but the sound of her melodious voice singing along loudly in my ears to her favorite song playing in the stereo. </p><p><br/></p><p> *I stay up all night, tell myself I'm alright*</p><p> *Baby, you're just harder to see than most*</p><p> *I put the record on, wait 'til I hear our song*</p><p> *Every night, I'm dancing with your ghost*</p><p><br/></p><p> I smiled sadly as the lyrics started to make more sense now. It wasn't just a beautiful melody in my ears anymore. It carried a heavy truth.</p><p><br/></p><p> Getting home, I dropped the chocolate bar on the pile of the already filled up bowl of chocolate bars sitting on the bedside table on her side.. Yeah, she liked them that much. </p><p> "I got one more." I said into the silence as I laid on our bed. It echoed back.</p><p><br/></p><p> I let a tear drop down the side of my face as I stared at the ceiling. "I miss you, you know. A lot." </p><p> I turned to face her, "I always will." I said while stroking the beautiful face on the picture frame laid beside me. </p><p> "Even in death, I'll always love you."</p><p><br/></p><p>~~~</p><p><br/></p><p>*Song: *Dancing with your ghost by Sasha Alex Sloan*</p><p><br/></p><p>Edit: This is completely fiction. I don't know what it feels like to lose a loved one but the song made me think of those who have. Writing this was an emotional rollercoaster for me. I hope you enjoyed it.</p>
