"The Last Goodbye" She sat beside his hospital bed, her eyes fixed on his weak smile. "Hey," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I'm sorry. I wish I had more time." Tears dripped onto their entwined fingers. "You'll always have more time," she replied. "In my heart, you'll live forever." His eyes fluttered closed, and she panicked. "Please don't leave me!" His eyes reopened, filled with love. "My beautiful one," he whispered, "I'll always be with you. In every sunset, every breeze, every heartbeat." With those final words, his hand relaxed, leaving her grasp. She cradled his hand, rocking back and forth. "Please come back to me," she begged, her voice shaking. But he was gone. She wept, her heart shattered into a million pieces. In that moment, she realized that sometimes goodbye isn't just a word – it's an eternity.
