A lullaby...

Plays quietly and softly while I sleep

He hums me to sleep while holding me in his arms



His kisses

Silent satisfactory

The tingling sensation of his touch against my skin

Is too much to take sometimes



I feel so secure when we're like this

Cuddling closely

Oblivious to everything

And everyone

Around us



I cry into his shoulder

Awakening worry inside him

I am crying because I know...

He must leave me soon



To return

To his world

Miles away from me

Even though I know he doesn't want to...

He must.



The feeling of dread in my heart...

Knows I must let him go...

Even though it isn't fair...

It's what I must do

The feeling of maybe...I'll never see him again...

It's too much...



I cry harder...

He mumbles soft comforting words in my ear

In light hopes of stopping my tears

It works eventually

But his words can never heal

The tears that I cry everyday...

Inside my heart.



He wipes the tears from my face

With his gentle hands

And kisses me once more

And I know that which I have feared...

He must leave...



I cling to him tightly

Wanting to never let go

Hoping that

That all of this is some crazy dream

I'll wake shortly

And he'll be by my side once more



But it's not a dream

And my nightmare

Is a reality

That I must face

As I watch him leave

I wave goodbye

Holding back my tears



That would only make it harder for him

But as soon as he is out of sight

I burst out in pure misery

Tears streaming down my face

And I wonder how I can ever go on...



Then I see a letter on my dresser...

I open it and read:



Dear Love,



I'll be back, so please..don't cry.



Love you always and forever.
