You may meet him ...
~
She saw him ... lying there ... lifeless ... she kneeled closer, keeping her head onto his chest; warmth radiating!
She felt his hands stir and encircled her arms around his neck; she held on to him as tightly as possible... as though pleading him...
He opened his eyes to find her lost in a trance... savouring each moment of their togetherness... clutching very tightly onto his shirt... as though her life depended on him!
A single tear burned the corner of his eye as it hit him... he wouldn't be there any longer... guilt had over ridden his love for her and it just wouldn't leave him... he had fulfilled his promise...

FEW YEARS BACK
He'd locked himself up in his room ... crying for what seemed like hours on end... staring into nothingness...! Whilst his fellow classmates were busy partying ... he had attempted something for which his conscience had cursed him...
~
It didn't leave him for days... weeks ... months ... he had fallen so ill that he had to be taken to the hospital on a regular basis! Being an alcoholic addict didn't help either!
As soon as he felt any better; he gulped down a few pegs... he believed it would make him forget things... Alas, that was a misconception!
~
He saw her everyday. As it was they studied at the same campus that too in the same class... seeing her everyday was sheer torture and it brought back memories of that one night he resented the most!
~
How life had changed so much!
