Silent Prayers.
<p>The constant banter didn't stop.</p><p><br/></p><p>The tension was so thick through the phone line that neither of us was willing to admit that we were at fault.</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly, I heard a crash.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then the line went dead.</p><p><br/></p><p>Silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>I kept calling your name, but all I could hear was a faint groan.</p><p><br/></p><p>With trembling hands, I grabbed my coat and keys and ran to my car. I checked your last location. It wasn't far from here, I thought.</p><p><br/></p><p>I drove, following the map, my heart pounding against my chest.</p><p><br/></p><p>Finally, I arrived.</p><p><br/></p><p>And what I saw made me freeze.</p><p><br/></p><p>The ambulance was already there. Firefighters were desperately putting out the flames that consumed the wreckage.</p><p><br/></p><p>My heartbeat seemed to pause.</p><p><br/></p><p>I saw your car.</p><p><br/></p><p>Damaged beyond repair.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was about to run towards it when Austin grabbed me and pulled me back.</p><p><br/></p><p>Slowly, gently, they brought out your limp body.</p><p><br/></p><p>"No. No, no, no, no!"</p><p><br/></p><p>I screamed.</p><p><br/></p><p>I struggled against Austin's hold, desperate to reach you, until I finally broke free and rushed towards the ambulance.</p><p><br/></p><p>They placed your body on the emergency bed.</p><p><br/></p><p>I saw your fingers twitch.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I knew we still had hope.</p><p><br/></p><p>I climbed into the ambulance and held your cold, bloody hands.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then I prayed.</p><p><br/></p><p>I prayed that you would not go gentle into that good night.</p><p><br/></p><p>A silent prayer escaped my lips as we raced towards the hospital.</p><p><br/></p><p>I felt your fingers curl around mine.</p><p><br/></p><p>And for a moment, I was happy.</p><p><br/></p><p>But then you spoke.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Remember me not."</p><p><br/></p><p>I stared at you.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Remember me not if you won't be happy. Remember me not if you won't move on. Remember me not if you won't forgive yourself."</p><p><br/></p><p>I stared into your deep grey eyes.</p><p><br/></p><p>They were slowly drifting into the good night.</p><p><br/></p><p>Panic seized me.</p><p><br/></p><p>I kept praying that the silent land would stop calling your name.</p><p><br/></p><p>That you would keep fighting.</p><p><br/></p><p>That you wouldn't leave until I said so.</p><p><br/></p><p>You held onto my hand tightly and whispered,</p><p><br/></p><p>"From dust we were formed, and as dust shall we depart."</p><p><br/></p><p>You took a shaky breath.</p><p><br/></p><p>"For whoever plans on never being prepared for the cold hands of that good night, how can they ever be prepared for the warmth of the afterlife?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Your voice grew weaker.</p><p><br/></p><p>"For I shall depart from thee, but I shall reunite with thee in Heaven."</p><p><br/></p><p>Tears blurred my vision.</p><p><br/></p><p>You looked at me one last time.</p><p><br/></p><p>"As I lay at rest upon your bosom, new memories shall we create. New journeys shall we begin, as we dance upon that beautiful street."</p><p><br/></p><p>You squeezed my hand.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Live a life that will be worth it. Love endlessly. Forgive others, and forgive yourself."</p><p><br/></p><p>Your voice trembled.</p><p><br/></p><p>"I know I wasn't the best husband to have. But I hope I was the best friend you wanted. I hope I was the brother you wished for."</p><p><br/></p><p>A faint smile crossed your lips.</p><p><br/></p><p>"And I hope I was the man you always prayed to the Creator for."</p><p><br/></p><p>Those words and many more were spoken as I watched you go gentle into that good night.</p><p><br/></p><p>And this time...</p><p><br/></p><p>You never came back.</p>
