Ghost Lake

I wished that moment would last forever, as we watched the sunrise together, but I knew that it wouldn't I knew that we couldn't stay there forever I knew that but why did everything have to go so wrong. Here’s what happened, we meet at a coffee shop I worked there and he was a customer he was rude and I was doing my job it was love at first sight, not really, we had been friends for years but we started to get feelings for each other. We had been planning a trip to the lake where we meet for weeks when it finally arrived we packed up and spent 3 hours in a car together we laughed, we sang, danced, we ate junk food, and we just talked we were happy when we finally got to the lake we went for a swim then had dinner on the dock and swam again when we got out of the water and sat on the dock and talked as we watched the sunset then went to bed the next morning we got up early to see the sunrise again we sat and talked then he went to get us breakfast while I went for a swim while I was swimming a cramp seized my leg and I started to sink I tried to call for help but water rushed into my mouth every time I tried to open it I didn’t want to die I swam but it was in vain when the water enveloped me I drowned. I felt my spirit start to lift out of my body I tried to stay in my body but I couldn’t I had no power I look back at my body and wished it didn’t have to end this way and then I saw him come back with breakfast I wanted to go back to my body again I heard him call out to me then he laughed thinking I was playing a joke on him and called out to me again for a second he was confused then I watched the terror crossed his face when he realised why I didn't respond and then he leaped into the water and grabbed my lifeless body and swam back to shore I watched as he tried to revive my lifeless body but it was no use I was dead I watched as he cried holding my lifeless body he told me that he loved me and that he was going to tell me when we ate breakfast begged me to come back to him and even though he knew I was dead he still called 911 and they came and toke me to the hospital then they told him that I was dead and there was nothing they could do and that he should go home he went in to dental and told them to do something but they told him again that I was dead that there was nothing they could do. My life is still tethered to that lake I watch people come and go from that lake because I died there I have watched some people drown themselves there I try to save them but I can’t give them the will to live when their spirits leave there bodys they look relived and I think that's why I am stuck here because I didn’t want to die one good thing about being tethered to this lake I can still see him every year he comes at the same week we went together he always comes no mater what if it is raining snowing even if he is not suppose to because of his job but he always comes even now and he always come alone even thought he is married now but he still comes alone but he sometimes come with family for a vacations but never on the week I died when he comes he sitts on the dock and talks to me and he tells me every thing that has happened in his life when he got marreyed I was sad but I knew it was for the best when he comes for a vacation with his family he never lets anyone swim alone he never told his family why he comes to this lake every year his wife thought he was cheating on him but he wasn’t one time she follow him to the lake but when she saw him on the dock by himself she knew he was not cheating that was olny time someone came with him he told me once what he was fierd for delicning a project for his job to come here when I heard that i was sad that I meant that much to him still he tells me that when he is dying he wants his family to bring him here so he can see me one last time I know he will fufill his promise becuase he still loves me even thought he is married when he come to the lake by him self he will spend and day on the dock from night to day he sits and watches the sunrise like we did and then he watches the moon glent off the water I think he knows im there because he never talks like he is talking to him self he talks likes he’s talk to a living person I love him and even thoght he doesn’t come anymore I know doesn’t come here anymore because he is dead too he came to see me one last time I got to see and talk to him before he moved on but still I’m happy being a ghost here I sit here to watch the moon glet off the water everynight no one knows im here they just live happy lives and never think that there is someone sitting on the dock I don’t know if i will ever move on but for now I will stay here on this dock watching the moon on the water it is peaceful here so I’m happy waiting I’m might never move on but I’m okay with that, the moon will always glint on the water and I will always sit on this dock.
