FATE- Not This Time...

He leaned against the car.1

His heart sank with every step she took.2

Another step and she moved away from him, away from their love and their future together into some other future where she lived and loved without him.3

He watched her leave.4

His feet craved to run after her.5

His arms wanted nothing more than to hold her.6

Her fragrance perfuming his breath; the smooth silk of her hair caressing his face; her fingers moving along the nape of his neck; the warmth of her breath while she whispers honeyed syllables in his ears; the gentle brush of her lips against his own before a bittersweet kiss; just her body against his own was all he wanted to feel in that moment.7

Yet he simply watched her go.8

Although this pain was tearing apart his heart every second he never let it escape from his eyes. He had so much to say to her still, so much of life still to live…9

She had nothing to say to him but so much of life still to live…19

A silent prayer escaped her.20

Looking up to the heavens, she pleaded.21

She pleaded for a miracle, anything to make him stop her from leaving.22

*** 23

He heard his heart crying out her name with every heartbeat.24

A single tear fell from his eye.25

She closed her eyes only to see his eyes begging her to stay.26

“Don’t go.” He whispered almost inaudibly, choking on the tears now streaming down his face. She opened her eyes and turned.27

A slow smile shone on her tear-streaked face.28

She ran into his open arms, crying and laughing at the same time.29
