I couldn’t leave you, I’ll feel bad.” Without thinking, I wiped blood from his mouth. His weak hand grabbed my wrist. “What’s your name?” I couldn’t begin to understand why, but for some reason that made me smile. “If I see you again I’ll tell you.” “Baby girl, I’m dead already,” he spoke. His eyes finally close as his breathing evened out. “If you die then you weren’t meant to know me or see me again…” Is the saying, what’s meant to be will always find its way back to you, true?
