First Love or Last?

It was a part of my life that I would never forget. It is also painful for me to try to remember it... However, I believe that it would be better if the story is told rather than being held inside...

I remember the first time that I saw her was in the emergency room of a hospital. My sister had a really bad flu with a tempature of 103 degrees. I was in junior high and she was a six grader. The reason for her to be there was because she's been sick all her life, and it was one of those days that she needed to go there. My family and I went back to the hospital the next day because my sister had to stay over night for further treatments. While we were in the hospital room visiting, I noticed that she was staying in the same room as my sister. She was sitting right next to the window looking at the scenery. I saw the look on her face, as I remember I once looked like that when I first immigrated into the country; loneliness and sadness. I took a deep breath walked up to her and started talking to her. It was true that she had the feelings inside her because of her illness. Since I knew how it felt, I wasn't so reluctant in talking to her. Ever since then we had been talking to each other whenever we can. We became the best of friends... or prehaps something more than that. As time passed by, we depended on each other more and more. All we did with our free time was to be with each other. I remember one day that we were cutting school to go see a Boardway Show named Secret Garden. When we arrived at the theatre, she remembered that she had a test that day. So, we watched half of the show and went back to her school. However, it turned out that her teacher was out of town because of a family emergency and the test was postponed... There was also this other time when we had to walk a few miles back home because we had a flat tire during our bike trip in Long Island... Good times are hard to forget... And it has been a while since she left me... She promised me that we would go to the prom together... But she left me even before I became a senior... Why is life so unfair? It is selfish to say that it was unfair for her to die so young... But she was lonely and sad all her life until we met... She told me once that she would rather die because of tha pain she's been through until she met me... We are apart now but she will always be on my mind!!!
