And they stand together drawing their last breaths into the pit of their empty lungs. And blood slows down in the veins and stops at the heart. And thoughts pick themselves up one more time and rush through the nerve endings, delivering the last commands.
"This is it, my darling"
Silence
"Say something, please"
Silence
"Don't do this to me"
"What is there left to say?"
Silence
And the heart contracted and rushed the cold blood through the capillaries. And the fingers intertwined around each other, laced together in a frozen union. And the lips mouthed muted words still understood. And the eyes opened wide and gazed into the abyss of the soul. And tears swelled up and fell into the cool blood, diluting the dark mixture
"I love you"
"I love you"
And the world erupted, crashed and stumbled. And the dream collapsed into itself. And the blood splashed, boiled and froze. And the heart gave its last beat, the thoughts stopped in their tracks and fell on the ground exhausted. And the eyes faded away, the tears dried and crusted on the pale skin.
What is there left to say: expect, I love you.
