{Rose, you're the most amazingly

Astounding wonderful girl

Woman that I've ever known

I'm not an idiot, I know how the world works

But I'm too involved now

You jump, I jump, remember?}

When you and Eddie first met, you were on the verge of taking your life just wanting to escape from feeling like you weren't important, good enough, pretty enough. You were sitting on the railing of the bridge with your feet dangling over as you watched the water rush underneath it as you thought about what you were about to do and wondered if anyone would care if you were gone. 

Eddie was on his way back from a deal when he saw you sitting on the railing of the bridge upset, making him slam on his brakes as he climbed out of the car. He wondered what someone like you was doing sitting on the rail of the bridge, cautiously approaching you not wanting to scare you anymore. 

"Hey, are you alright?" He asked cautiously walking over to you.

"Do I look alright?" You asked him quietly. 

"No, you don't. I can see something's bothering you, I can listen if you like." He offered as you looked at him. 

"Why would you do that? You hardly know me." You asked him. 

"Well that's not technically true, I know you enough to think that you are one of the kindest souls I've met and it would be a shame if we lost someone like you all because the world was suffocating you. If you take my hand, we can go get something to eat and talk, and if you don't want to talk that's fine too." He said as you looked at his hand. 

You hesitantly took his hand and made it safely to his car where you two got something to eat and found somewhere quiet to eat and talk. You felt a huge relief when talking to Eddie because he never judged or criticized you, he only offered the best advice he could meanwhile Eddie sat there listening to you thinking about how strong and amazing you are to go through the things you went through and yet somehow still survive. 

That was the day you fell for Eddie Munson. He saw you for who you were and now some version everybody except you to be. 

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

Ever since Eddie died saving you and Dustin, you got to see him in dreams alive and well still perfect as you remember him. Sometimes you could see and feel him beside you as you tried to navigate life without him which was hard to do because you really missed him and wished he was here with you graduating and pursuing music. 

"'86 baby, this is my year." He said beaming at you. 

"It is your year baby, your gonna graduate and we're gonna get out this town." You said wrapping your arms around him.

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

No matter where you went, you always felt him beside you and it was the only reason why you kept going on with life was for him even if you missed him terribly. You moved out of Hawkins and to California where you and Eddie had planned on moving.
