Replayed Moments

A smile tugged at the edges of my pink lips, my brown eyes sparkling as they melted into his green ones, the rosy blush that burned my cheeks growing brighter as he leaned closer, pressing his forehead to mine. This was one of those moments where everything seemed perfect. Nothing in the world could ever hurt me as long as I had him...and nothing could separate me from him. He was perfect in so many ways, I couldn't even list them all in my head.
"I love you." I breathed, my voice barely audible. I knew he could hear me, though. We just..understood each other. We didn't have to say anything when we were together. We already knew all there was to know. I wished this moment would last forever.
And then the moment his lips touched mine, my mind went completely blank. This happened every time he kissed me, and he'd kissed me many times before...but it still took my breath away and there was still no possible way to think about anything. And when he pulled away, I had to take a deep breath, smiling so big I thought my jaw might break.
"And I love you, Emma." I heard him whisper, pulling me into tight hug, his arms around my waist and mine around his neck. The perfect moment. Just thinking about it made me smile. My mother had constantly found me staring into space, my head cocked to the side, and a wide smile placed upon my face. She didn't have to ask what I was thinking about anymore. It was always him.

I pulled my legs up to my chest, resting my head on my knees and smiling brightly, letting out a little giddy, childish giggle. I'd really never been this happy in my life. I constantly replayed that moment in my head. Just last week actually. He'd come to see me on my birthday, and the nurses had allowed him to take me to the beach. It was absolutely wonderful. Most definitely the best day of my life. I just wished there would be more of those. I didn't even know how much longer I had.
Yes, I am absolutely, positively, completely, madly and overwhelmingly in love.
What's the catch?
I've got Cancer.
