I love you, Sarah.  I always have.

You see, I've known it since a couple minutes after I first saw you.  Although at that point I didn't realize it, we were destined to be together.  Ever since I laid my eyes on you, Sarah, I couldn't take them off, and I know you felt the same about me.

Do you remember our first date, still?  I do.  I remember everything about it, even how I asked you.  You were standing there, waiting for your ride home, and I just asked if you wanted to hang out tomorrow.  I was so nervous that I can’t describe it.  But you said yes.  You said yes.  That one word made my day.  I hope you remember.

Then the date came, and it was like heaven.  Sure, it was fairly stereotypical.  We went to the coffee shop and just talked.  You ordered a mocha, I remember.  I think I had a latte.  I don’t remember.  It wasn’t important to me, all that was important was being there with you.  I hope you remember.

We really hit it off, didn’t we, Sarah?  I don’t know how, I don’t why.  I don’t want to know.  The next few weeks were a blur.  We spent every minute we could together, and it was the happiest time of my life.  Euphoria.  When I was with you, I was happy, and when I wasn’t with you, I wanted to be with you.  I hope you remember.

Do you remember when I first met your parents?  I was even more nervous then.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been more nervous.  We all went out to dinner together.  I dropped my fork.  I remember that.  And then when I went to get it, I knocked over your father’s water glass.  I thought he’d kill me.  But he didn’t.  He just laughed, and soon we were all laughing.  I hope you remember.

Do you remember when I proposed to you?  It was our two-year anniversary of being together.  I’d been planning it for months, and I felt bad because I couldn’t afford a very nice ring.  I was in college, remember?  And then it started raining while we were walking in the park.  But still, I wasn’t going to let the weather stop me.  I knelt down, ruining my pants, and asked you.  You didn’t care about the ring or the rain.  You said yes.  This time, the euphoria lasted for a month.  I hope you remember.

Do you remember the one night after the party?  When I was driving you home, and we’d both had a little too much to drink?  We were playing in the car, jokingly pushing each other around.  Suddenly, you pushed me a little too hard.  I lost control.  The car hit the railing, and you’d forgotten to put on your seatbelt.  You flew out the window and hit a tree headfirst.  You broke your neck, and the doctors said you were dead before you felt anything.  I hope they were right.

… I still remember, Sarah.  But this time, I hope you’ve forgotten.  There are other people standing behind me, more people who want to say goodbye, so I’m going to leave you now, for the last time.

I love you, Sarah.  I always have.
