It was like falling asleep.

One moment, I was laying in a cold hospital bed, machine beeping next to me, and the next, I was standing in the middle of heaven. At least, my idea of heaven.

Looking around, I searched for you. I knew you were close. I could feel you.

"Hey," you murmured. I spun on my heel, finding you standing twenty feet away. You looked just like I remembered. It was almost like sixty years hadn't passed at all. "It's about time you got here."

"Sorry," I laughed, closing the distance between us. Encasing you in my arms, I nestled my face in your neck, inhaling the sweetest scent I'd ever smelled. "God, baby, I missed you."

"I know, but I was there in every breath you took, every tear you shed. I held you when you wept."

"I love you," I murmured, capturing your lips with mine.

"I love you, too," you whispered. "I'll love you till the end of time."

Thank you for all the reviews over this little story. There tough times, but life is often full of tough times. And see, they got their HEA, even if they had to wait a while.
