The Promise

When I enter the library, I take a deep breath. I haven’t been here in months, but I had a promise to keep, so I pushed myself out of bed and here I am.
I walk to the fiction section and scan the row of books. I choose a few of my all-time favorite classics and find a seat near the window, once his favorite spot.
I miss him terribly, but I promised I would continue to come, even though it pains me.
He had said he would always be with me through books.
I can almost hear his voice.
