everlasting wishes

" One wish is for you to realize how grateful I am that you came to see me here.
I hope you will understand how happy you have made me. I know it is going to save me
if anything will. I may not show it, but it is true.
- I will come to see you again. - I said. And what is the other wish?
- I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?
- Always- I said. I will always remember.
...Do you really promise never to forget me? she asked in a near whisper.
- I will never forget you- I said- I could never forget you."
