I’ve loved you since the first day we met
Two kids, living in a world so dark
Yet so blind to it
Two kids
…Without regret…
Do you remember the day?
Our first time we sat together at school
No idea of our future together
We first met over Ice Cream
I fell in love right then
I know it seems an impossibility
For a mere kid
Unaware of what love is
To feel a burning in their heart
One without end
A pure love
One I feel as we share this Ice Cream now
30 years past our 5-year-old selves.
I remember the snow
The December we shared our feelings first
We were only 12
However…
…You shared your feelings…
Something I’d silently felt
A day I’d waited for what felt like an eternity for
We were having Ice Cream that day as well
You kissed me over Christmas break
Our two families spending together
That beautifully snowy Christmas Night
We tried to play off dessert normally that time
Our families knew though,
As it turned out
They saw us on the porch,
They said nothing till our wedding day though
It was a beautiful one.
A lavish Winter wedding
We shared our vows
We promised to be there for one another
Much like we are now
We did as we always had as kids
Our special moments
Reflected as we ate our favorite dessert
Ice Cream marking another wonderful moment
Much like our first
You are the man I never deserved
My gallant knight who’s always worked
Providing for me in every way
After we had our little boy
We had Ice Cream to celebrate
The snow was beautiful that night
Much like it is now
I’m sorry that you must learn this way
Thank you for having Ice Cream with me on this day
I know you were confused why I sent away our son at first
You have no idea what tonight means to me
A celebration of us
I didn’t want our son to see what must be done next
I wanted us to share our memories
Those days without regret
I wanted him to retain that purity
Our greatest gift
I’m going to have to ask you
To protect him
I know as you’re reading this now
As we sit here, looking at the snow
You are probably wondering why it is I now cry
Well…
…The truth is…
I have it…
I’m infected, my love
I don’t wish for you to dwell on this
It’s the reason this one time
I insisted we use separate bowls
It’s been years since that happened, right?
You & oddly this dessert has been there for our best times
Nothing fancy
That’s never been our way.
No,
A simple vanilla ice cream
The same as the first time we shared the dish
I wish we could treat tonight like that first time
Back when we were kids,
Two kids,
No regrets,
Just sharing our favorite dish…
…Vanilla Ice Cream…
I ask of you
Though now I’m likely crying
Don’t remember this night in a negative way
Think of it as one final time
Sharing our lovely memories once again
No regrets…
No worry about what comes next.
I know what happens after this,
Isn’t going to be a happy event
However,
When you have to do it,
Please make it quick.
A bullet to the head,
A proper burial,
That’s all I can ask my dearest friend.
I’ve known since the first day we met
You are my one true love,
My best friend.
I’m sorry things had to end like this…
…I’m sorry that I got myself bit…
It was funny you know?
I was shopping,
Just another day,
No worries, no regrets.
You had our son at home,
Waiting for me as you always did…
We didn’t even know there was an infection.
Blissfully ignorant that when I got bit,
It was the beginning of the end.
The saddest thing might be,
What has probably happened to the family of the kid
…Who infected me…
It was his bite that would be my end
…Though now, I imagine his family is suffering…
From this disease with no known source…
A few weeks after I was bit,
I began to get sick…
Nothing I wanted to bother you & our son with…
The news reports began to come out
About the others infected with the unknown virus
I’m sorry I played it off at the time…
That I never told you I’d been bit…
I’m sorry you had to find out now,
Mere moments before the inevitable…
I love you my sweet
My dearest friend
If you could,
Please remember our time together
It is something I’ll always be happy for
…Raise our son right…
Tell him his mother had a happy life
That he is our most precious gift
…Keep him safe…
I love you my dearest friend
…Please…
…Never forget that…

*A letter read, a dessert shared once again, the snow falls as they look into one another’s eyes one final time*
