Don't sue , for I have nothing to give . oh , the disclaimer is borrowed too . Thanks . Dedications: To my parents and my non X-Phile friends that have to put up with my obssesson . As I lay here I begin to wonder . I begin to think . What does the future hold for me ? For Mulder ? For the X-files ? Then my thoughts are interuppted . I sense a familiar presence in the room , it is Mulder . I look up and our eyes lock . I can see that his tears are ready to flow , but that he feels he must be strong for both of us . The only problem is I can tell by the look on his face that buckets of tears are falling down my own . We both know that this will be hard for us . I am told that my death certain and that it is just a matter of time before I slip into the obyss forever . Never to see his smiling face looking at me in that special way ever again . He makes his way over to my bedside and sits in the lone seat . I hold my hand out to him , he grasps it lightly. I believe that he thinks that I could break . Though by the way I look I am not surprised . Once he grasps it he brings it slowly to his lips and kisses it gently . I beckon him closer with my thin finger . He gets up and leans over , so he is only inches away from my face . I whisper softly , closer . He barely hears me , but moves closer . He is now only millimetres away from my face . Without warning he kisses me gently , caringly .when we pull away I whisper , "I love you !" He replies , " I know and I love you . I'm just upset that I didn't tell you until now !" He sits back down , but pulls the chair closer as my breath begins to get raspy . He leans over and lays his head next to mine . Ten minutes later I begin to pass away . We silently say I love you to eachother and he holds my hand . Five minutes later it was over . He leans over and kisses my forehead and whispers , " I'll love you always my Darling !" Then he walks away silently , finally letting the tears fall .
