Let her go

I held her hand all the way through. At home, in the ambulance and now. On her bed. It's just her and I. I take a deep breath and look at her for the final time. Her beautiful face looked back up at me. I wished I could help her. But I had no choice. I couldn't do anything.
She slowly started to close her eyes. I still held her hand but it was gradually getting lighter and lighter. I tear rolled down my cheek as I saw her struggle. "I love you," I whispered and she took her last breath.

~It was time to let her go once and for all~
