He was not the death angel.

     It was a nickname I baptized him with. But it seemed like a word out of a dictionary; it has a meaning.

     He was never just someone because he is Tristan, he is different.

     I realized he was real. This is too tangible of a world.

     Life. It was something to look forward to. But losing yourself in the process? Isn't waiting for nothing better than this?

     I calmly smiled at him as he closed his eyes, lying down the field. I examined his expression agonizingly.

     I tilted my head to the side.

     He was too manly. His eyes are slightly slanted, complementing his fair complexion while his hair disheveled perfectly matching.

     I let our lips touch.

     It was painstakingly difficult. He was tormented and I was badly hurt to just look.

     I imitated him as I lay down beside him and closed my eyes.

     "If I come back alive, I will find you..." I barely whispered. I have fallen, awfully.

     Struggling, I continued softly with tears almost about to drop, "I will bring you back."

     I can't go away but I don't want to stay.

     I surrendered to the darkness. Save me from this misery.

     Slowly, as if a reversed echo, silenced to a loud thunder of voice, I could hear someone shout. Ever so serenely and yet remotely familiar, it was screaming my name.

     I was awake.

     My eyes were closed but I could hear the beating of my alive being.

     Once, twice. I blinked rapidly, refusing to believe I am back.

     My breathing started to waver...

     It almost seemed like a distant memory but I could hear it loudly shouting desperately, "Goodbye, my angel."

     I was lost in the darkness once again.
