´óÏó´«Ã½

It all happened such a long time ago. I still cannot get over it. I can't forget. I won't forget. I was devastated. It should have been me. I was with her, I left her, I made a mistake. I have to live with that mistake.
Ten years ago it happened. We were happy. We had been together for three years and were celebrating. I had gone to her house for dinner. She cooked a mouth watering meal and teased me about a surprise she had planned for me, I never found out what that surprise was. I stared into her eyes and she smiled, 'I love you,' I whispered, she giggled, 'what?' I had questioned.
'I love you to,' she had replied 'and I never want to leave you,' she added. I will never forget those words. She thought we would be together forever, as did I. my mistake.
She walked through from the kitchen her long brown hair glistening in the light. I was so happy. We were so happy. As she walked up the stairs she called down to me. 'Don't forget to turn the oven off.' Don't forget to turn the oven off. Why didn't I listen?
That night was so special. I woke up and felt her body close to mine, her warm breath against my cheek. Suddenly I noticed a very unpleasant smell. The oven! I ran downstairs, smoke filled my lungs. I could hardly breathe, I panicked, I left. I left her to die. I could have gone back. I should have gone back. I didn't go back.
They say don't dwell on the past, but I can't help it. I killed her. I still see her sometimes, when I least expect it. I can't forget her, I won't forget her. I can't get over it. I'm living in the past
