She Closed Her Eyes.

	I remember the day she closed her eyes. 
She had beautiful eyes, Serena, my
ex-girlfriend. Beautiful bright blue eyes. 
	I stare out to the window, miserably 
looking at the rainstorm. She hated
rainstorms. I hate rainstorms, because it 
killed her. I can’t seem to forget the day she
left me.
	It was a rainy day with crashing thunder 
and lightning, and it was quite dangerous to walk 
under trees. It was the day after I broke up with 
my girlfriend for a foolish reason. I still 
loved her, but dreams - no nightmares, were telling me 
to stay away from her, or she'll die. So I told
her I didn't want to see her anymore.
	I was taking a walk in the rain with no 
umbrella. I thought the rain would wash away my 
worries and pain from leaving her. All I could do 
was think about her, think about how happy I was 
with her and how unhappy I am without her. She
brought pure happiness into my dull life.
	I found myself on a pier and looked out 
into the sea. I couldn’t see much because of the 
storm, but this place brought back fond memories. 
It was raining harder so I decided to go back to 
my apartment. On my way home, I heard someone 
crying nearby. I knew nearly everybody in this 
small neighbourhood, so I went to see who was 
crying.  I took a few steps forward, and I was 
about two metres away from her. I didn’t want to 
frighten her. It was clearly a girl with her head 
down in her hands murmuring something to herself. 
	"Excuse me miss," I said over the loud 
lightning. 
	She looked up at me. It was Serena.
	"Darien!" she shouted, and hugged me.
	No, no. This was wrong I thought. I pushed 
her away. Then from that moment, everything went 
wrong.
	"CRASH!" went the lightning bolt. It hit a 
tree branch, which caused the branch to break and 
hit Serena on the back. She collapsed to the ground.
	"Serena!" I screamed. I ran to her side 
and checked her pulse and breathing.
Her pulse was slow, and her breathing was very 
shallow.
	"D...Darien," she said, choking up blood.
	"Don’t talk. Just hold on okay!" I said 
with tears threatening to roll down my face.
	"D...Don’t forget m...me Darien."
	"Don’t say that. Please hold on Serena, I 
pleaded stroking her wet blonde hair. Don’t leave me."
	"I love you...Darien," she whispered as she 
closed her eyes.
	"No...no no!" I said checking her pulse and 
her breathing again. She was dead.
	"Serena!" I screamed to the sky, as I 
held her tight beside me.

	That was the way my one true love closed 
her eyes forever. She had suffered from internal 
bleeding and a broken spine. She said she loved me, 
but I didn’t have a chance to say I loved her. 
	"I love you, Serena," I whisper in agony, 
as I see the sun rising over the retirement village 
grounds.
