A Lifetime of Loving Someone

I am a fish, and she is the sky. She gazes down at me tenderly, while I look up at her from a distance I can never cross, not even in death. I used to think that if love were an ocean, I'd want to be a fish drowning on its floor. But now the fish is stranded on the beach, about to dry out and die. The ocean is before her, but all she has around her is sand. Sometimes, when I think about it, I feel like there must be something wrong with me. Out of all the countless people in the world, I just had to fall for my roommate. Later, I thought about it. We were never meant to be together. She wants to live to a hundred, while I want to leave this world as soon as I can. "I'll only ever love one person. If we can't be together in this life, then I'll wait for the next one."
