Until Never

It’s always been him.

Since he let me play his video game when we were kids and every day that has followed.

But when my illness comes back, I do the one thing I vowed never to do... I lie to him.

The man I love.

Because I can’t bear to break his heart with the truth. Or face the reality of losing more than we ever thought possible in a cruel twist of fate.

Hope is fleeting, but I should have known he wouldn’t let me walk away.

In sickness and health.

He took vows too... until never.
