I look at her now, sick and frail with age and just as beautiful as she was at seventeen. There are mere moments left, before she sleeps the last sleep.

I know that we were born to experience this. Death. Finality.

"Time's almost up," she whispers.

I know. I curse it.

Not yet, please. I need her still.

But time, like sand, like her, keeps slipping through my fingers.

"Promise me," she begs.

But I can't promise. I won't.

Instead I kiss her gently and watch her eyes close one last time.

"Until we meet again, love."
