Remember

He stared into space, while fingering the half heart pendant on his chest. He could still hear her voice, "One half for me and the other for you, we now need each other to make our hearts whole!" The excitement when she had fastened it around his neck and the expression on her face. He still remembered everything as clearly as if it was yesterday. But in fact, it was many weeks ago. Now, she was no longer here, she had passed away. A car accident. And all he had left of her was half a heart, since the other half had died. He still couldn't accept the fact that she was gone. Forever. A tear rolled down his cheek. Sighing deeply, he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. And he saw her face, she was smiling at him, and holding his hand and pressing something into it while saying, "You can't live with half a heart, can't love again with only half. Just don't forget me, and I will always love you." She turned to go, he stretched out to touch her but she was already gone. He woke up with a start and wondered if what happened was real and in his hand, he felt something, it was the other half of the pendant. He smiled slowly, sadly and remembered her words.
