    As the snowflakes gently descended from the darkened sky, you held Harris close, feeling the weight of his frail body against yours. His once vibrant eyes now carried the burden of pain and the acceptance of his impending fate. With each step, his strength waned, but his spirit remained unyielding.

    Both of you stood on the rooftop, the bitter cold pierced through your clothes, but the warmth of his love shielded you both from the biting wind. Harris smiled weakly, as he reached out his trembling hand to yours.

    "Will you dance with me?....for the last time, my love" Harris whispered, his voice barely audible above the gentle rustle of the falling snow. Tears welled up in your eyes as you nodded, knowing that every moment was precious, every touch a bittersweet memory.

    Both of you swayed to the rhythm of your hearts, his grip growing ever more fragile with each passing second.

    "Please...listen to me..." Harris spoke weakly. You wanted to burst your tears but you forced yourself to remain strong for him.

    "Yes, my love." You whispered.

    "I want...I want you to find a man that will love and live with you for a ling time...unlike me" a tear escaped from your eyes as you listen to him.

    "Please promise me that you'll be happy with your future family and will have a lot of babies...that I can't give"

    "Please promise me that you'll open your heart once again after I died... love again, my love."
