Those eyes

Time

The next few days I couldn't get out of bed. I just cried so hard and I couldn't eat or keep anything down. It was like I was dying from a broken heart.

I knew in Time I would learn to deal with it but I wasn't sure how.

With in a week I was able to get out of bed and eat a little but not much. I thought I was getting better but on day 10 I was back in bed.

How was time going to fix this if I couldn't even get out of bed. 

My father again looked scared.

"I'm ok Papa I'll be ok." I said

He would just nod and walk out the door.

My days and night started to blur together and at day 14 that's when the dreams started. He would come at night. We would talk and be together and he would hold me until I woke up and realized it was nothing more than a dream and I wanted nothing more for the night to come when I could finally sleep again and see him. 

It got to the point were It seemed like I was never awake and always wanted to be asleep.

Time wasn't working for me it was only making things worse.

When a month came my mother and father both finally came to me and said

"Rachel you have to leave."

"What?" I asked

"Your Papa and I can't bare to see you suffer like this any more."

"I can't leave your my family I love you."

"But you love him more?" My Papa asked

He was right I did but there was nothing I could do about it. I had no way to get to him. 

"I'm going to be ok." I said not knowing if it was true or not

"Time won't fix this for you daughter. We know that is what you are waiting for. We are worried you will never get better unless you go."

I smiled knowing that they were right and I would walk to that hospital if I had to.

"I love you both so much."

I got out of bed they had food waiting for me I ate it all. I went and bathed I looked a mess. 

We said our goodbyes and I thought in a short time now I will be in his arms. 

I walked out the door and there he was.

He was down on 1 knee and had a ring in his hand.

"Marry Me!"

I felt like I was dreaming. I tried to pinch myself. 

"It's ok now." He said

"am I awake it feels like the only time your here is in my dreams am I awake is this real"

"Yes Rachel I'm here."

"What did you ask me?'

"I asked you to Marry Me?"

I felt like all the air had left my body and everything went black
