            “Please,” he gasped, clinging to her wrists through the chain-link. She looked so beautiful, yet so eerie. A calm, unnatural peace was beneath the long lashed in her almond eyes as her hair whipped around her angled features. The high cheek bones were stained with tears, her full lips pale but smiling faintly. She clung to the fence, stroking her fingers along his arms. Cars slammed on their horns what seemed like a million miles below. He’d never seen her so beautiful, and now, a thousand feet above the ground and a few minutes from eternal parting, it was too late for everything.

            “I love you,” He said in a hoarse voice. For the first time in his life he didn’t bother trying not to cry. With all his strength he held her, and would have jumped from the bridge in her place had the fence not separated them. “I’m never letting you go.”

            She laughed, soft and sweet but empty of life. “I’m not leaving you,” she said. “I’m just going where you can’t see me. But I’ll see you. And I’ll still love you.”

            “Why aren’t I enough?” He asked, hot tears rolling fast down his cheeks. “Why can’t you just stay for me?”

            “I’ll never be happy.” She said, the answer ingrained within her. “You’re everything to me, but I’m nothing to the world. So I have to leave it.”

            “You’re something to me,” he choked, his voice cracking into a sob. “You’re everything to me. You do belong here. You belong with me.”

            The corners of her lips pulled up a little, but she didn’t quite smile.

            “I told you,” she said softly, her voice turning to a whisper. “I’ll always be with you.”

            “Be with me now,” he begged. “One last time. Please, come back over.”

            “I can’t come back,” she said. “I’ll fall.”

            “I’ll make sure you don’t.”

            “You don’t understand.” She said. “I want to get out of here.”

            “I can take you away from here.” He vowed. “I can take you anywhere you want to go. We’ll run away where they’ll never find us, and we can be alone together…”

            “I have run away,” she said. “And we are together. One last time.”

            “Isn’t there anything I can do?”

            “Kiss me.”

            Passion neither of them had ever felt coursed through their bodies, making them one as their lips met full on between the bars that caged him away from her. He wanted her forever, so bad. She wanted him, too, but not like this.

            “I love you,” she whispered as they kissed.

            “I love you, too,” he answered back, reaching as far through the bars as he could to hold onto her, to pull her back, to save her. She let him go. He held her fast.
