The bright light surrounded me completely.

The light, so bright, it woke up the sleeping girl.

Her green eyes,

Sleepy at first,

Became more alert.

I waved goodbye to the girl I loved.

I did not want to go,

But I knew it was for the best.

She could not love a dead man.

Even if he was a ghost and she could see him.

She deserved much more than what I could offer her.

She mouthed goodbye as I began to disappear.

And added before I was completely gone,

"I love you."

And then that was it.
