I awoke to the warmth of his arms wrapped around me, it felt like pure bliss. For a moment, I wished he could hold me forever. Then, he whispered into my ear, "I love you, baby." I smiled, replying, "I love you too."

He promised never to leave, calling me his peace of mind. His words were everything to me. Though the room was dark, I could sense the honesty in his voice. I said to him, "Baby, we’re together for eternity. He smiled and kissed me on my forehead. 

Suddenly, a hand gently tapped me from behind. I opened my eyes to see Chloe. She asked why I was talking to myself and clutching my pillow so tightly. Her touch pulled me back to reality. It made me realize that it was all a dream, and Francisco wasn’t coming back.

Later that day, I visited his grave, telling him how empty I’ve felt since he passed away. I left a rose on his grave and promised him that no one would ever take his place in my heart.
