I wake up the next morning as I have set an alarm on my phone. I quickly check if I have wake Kim up but luckily she is still sleeping. I know that we should probably say goodbye to each other but I just do not think I would be able to do it. If I have to look into her eyes and see how sad she is because I am leaving, I do not know if I would be able to go.

I love her more than life and it is already hard for me to leave her while she is so accepting of what I must do. I softly and calmly wiggle my arm out from under her waist. I hope I do not wake her up and then I quietly get dressed.

I look at her lying there fast asleep and so peaceful. This is the way I want to remember her, happy and content. I quickly get out of the tent and then pick the yellow flower that I saw when we walk to the hot spring. I go back into the tent and put the flower next to her. Then I give her a soft kiss on her cheek and it is more difficult than I thought it would be.
