I know it's a few days early, but I just read this at SFUniverse ... it's a made-up Valentine card from Sam to Jess that he wrote after her death (I deleted the last line because that kinda sucked):
Jess,
I love you.
Pretty simple, huh? But I know I didn’t say it enough to you when you were alive. I didn’t tell you how much it meant to me to see your smile at the end of a long day. To hear you laugh at one of my lame jokes. Just the warmth of you next to me in bed was more than I ever imagined I could have in this world. You have no idea. Though Guitar Hero and Karaoke night, dollar movie night at the student union and coffee on the quad — you never knew about the horror that was my life before I met you. You reminded me that not every life was filled with blood and anguish and terror. You gave me the one thing I always wanted but was afraid to even dream of — a normal life, friendship, love.
I love you so much, even now, even more. I see people buying flowers and candy and big bouquets of heart-shaped balloons. And it reminds me of our last Valentine’s Day and I can’t. . . I can’t let it in because it’ll break me if I remember how soft your lips were against mine. How gorgeous you were when I made love to you. How much joy there was in two misshaped cupcakes with most of the pink frosting gone.
I love you, Jess. And I killed you as surely as if I’d put a gun to your head. I miss you. I miss you.
Sam
*sigh* I wish I'd get a card like that one day ... well, without the killing part of course, but still ...
