Dreams

"You're leaving me." I state in a whisper.

You nod your head. "Yes, I am."
I stare into your eyes and you stare into mine. I feel like you're staring strait through me and into my soul.

'What does it look like? Is it black and small? Is it alone? What does it look like?' a small voice whispers in my head.

You blink and look away. When you look back, you have tears in your beautiful blue eyes.

"Why?" I ask.

"You don't need me anymore." You state.

I blink back the tears that threaten to fall. I do need you, but I don't tell you this as it will only prolong what's going to happen.

You stand and walk around the table. I watch as you come to crouch in front of me and place your hand on my knee gently. You lean forward and kiss me lightly before pulling back. You hand me a white lily. My favorite. After all these years, you remembered.

I hold back a sob as I take the flower. I look into your eyes and see the tears poling.

"Goodbye Mel." You whisper, stand up and walk out the door.

I wake up and look around me. You're holding me close to you as you sleep. I kiss you gently and whisper. "Don't leave me."

"I won't." You whisper back, before I fall asleep.
