"Hi... So this is it, huh? This is our goodbye..."
I was shaking and sobbing and I didn't realize it. I wanted to stop her but I knew that she was long gone. She was gone before I woke up, she didn't even exist when I started listening to her voicemails. It was too late. I was too late.
"The sky looks beautiful. I can see the purple lines in the vast darkness and there's a hint of orange too. I wish you were here with me one last time... It's funny, really. I'm not crying. Maybe it's because I've cried too much before and even last night. I just don't feel like crying... I'm actually... I feel really light-hearted, you know?"
She took a deep breath and I held mine.
"I love you, Steve. I always have. Goodbye..."
The voicemail ended.
