His laugh, his smile, his eyes, and his last words. Oh god his last words were the saddest things I've ever heard, but he meant them, I know he did. Three words, eight letters, and it was all the truth, but the truth hurts so much.
"I love you."
Those words will never have the same meaning. Because they'll be my last memory of him.
-----------------------------------
It was just a simple mission, no one was supposed to get hurt. They had done it plenty of times before.
So why did it go so wrong? And why did take him?
--------------------------------------
The pain, the tears, the silence, it seemed to never stop. Everything reminded them of him, no matter what it was, it was all him.
Only one of them had felt the worst of it, because he was his everything, and losing him felt like the world had ended. He was gone, he wasn't returning from that mission.
Until he did.
-------------------------------
Blank, unknowing, confused, not like they remembered him. Not how he was in their fondest memories. He was there, but wasn't .
When he was gone, they only had a memory, but when he returned, it was like he never had.
Maybe that's all he'll ever be, a memory.

Words.
Everyone takes them for granted, using them non-stop, screaming them, laughing them, blurting them. But what about when they're dying? Are they strong enough to scream out their last words? To laugh out their final sentence? To blurt out the last thing people will remember of them?
Your dying words mean everything. It's what people remember you saying last and it shouldn't be something stupid which if you get used to saying stupid things, I believe you won't have any control of what you say when you die.
So words are valuable, and I, James Hunter, won't waste them.
Of course I'll speak when it's important but I don't think I'll speak for anything other than that.
But I'm dying and I don't want to be, but the choice isn't mine to make. My body- my heart has made up its mind, I'm going to die, I just have to accepting it. And if I'm going to die, I want to be remembered, I want them to visible see my face, feel my touch and hear my voice from my final hours of living. I want my family to know everything I've been holding in and I want my friends to remember me as strong.
So what I'm going to die? Everyone does at one point. I'll just die sooner than expected and medication won't do anything to stop it, only postpone it and I don't want it postponed, when I'm ready... I'm ready and I want my heart to be on the same page as I am.
