Silhouette
A silhouette against the window
Flickering candlelight
Dancing delicately around the room
A hand touches her cheek
He stands behind her
A mystery to the eye
She presses her face against his hand
Soft
Strong
Gentle
Gracious
She touches it daintily
Never turning around to see his face
She knows its him
His other hand slips around her waist
Pulling her closer to him
She feels his body
Warm and safe
Peace is what runs through her
She closes her eyes
Breathing in his every existence
She feels happy
Like nothing can go wrong
She opens her eyes
Lets go of his hand
Walks to the window and pulls the shades closed
She smiles to her self as she turns to face him
But the smile fades
As she stairs into the room
Empty and hollow
Just the flicker of the candlelight
Dancing delicately around the room
Only her silhouette against the window
i know i usually pull out my favorite lines to quote and comment on them, but there really wasnt a dull line in this. all i can say is it built up beautifully, till the last line hits you like bricks.
I wonder if that is what you have felt about me being gone. If so, then know that such disappointment and sorrow is not yours alone. At least you have the ability to change such a fate.
