The moon was nearly full and casting a shadow across his pale face as he strode towards her. "This is for you," he said gruffly as he shoved a box into her hands. He walked away, didn't look back.
She sank down on the ground where she was, in the middle of the road and opened the box. Inside were the ticket stubs from the movie they went to see on their first date. Inside was the corsage he'd bought her for prom which she'd left in her room and it had disappeared two days later. Inside was a love letter she wrote him years ago. Inside was a list of her likes and dislikes - food, colours, places to eat. Inside was his wedding ring. Inside was her heart, and his.
She sat there and wept. Cried for all the pain, for all the happiness, for all the lost time, for all the things she hadn't yet told him. She cried for the loss of what couldve been.
She looked up to see if he'd gone but all she saw was a blinding whiteness directly in front of her. She didn't have time to scream, and felt no pain as she drifted away. And as she drifted away, she looked down at the box that held memories of their life together, and she looked down at him.
"I still love you" she whispered into the nothingness.
