I knew it was coming. We both did. All this time we tried to distract ourselves
From it but there was no hiding the truth.
I looked her in the eye. Here beautiful hazel eye. Deeper the space itself. Her long dark brown hair, now matted and knotted. Her face covered in dirt and blood, still beautiful. That moment then seemed to last a lifetime. She was scared, she had tried to be strong for the both of us for too long now. It was my turn to be strong.If you would have told me that this was were I would be 2 weeks ago, I would have laughed so hard. Yet here I am, as the sunsets down on my last day.
The sun gently reflected of the rippled water and shore brightly on her
face. Now sad. Now lost. I reached
out to touch her one last time but I found my hand didn't quite reaching her before it was too late. Screaming now. All of the fear I had kept bottled up all coming out at once. Her eyes now frantically searching for me. Her face, her beautiful face blurred now. I had finally found something to live for. And someone to die for.
