Haunting Images

'You're not even real! You aren't really here!' I scream into the thrashing howls of the wind, spinning, each turn another image of you appearing before my eyes. 'Why won't you just leave me alone?'

But do I even want you to go away; these distant memories are all I have left of you, even when you're not here you are still a part of me. I can't seem to run from your haunting images, they just flowingly follow me; I am being stalked by the shadows of darkness.

I drop to my knees, holding myself tight, only I can keep myself from falling apart now. You had been the only person with enough of me to break my heart, and you had taken advantage of that. Now where are you? Where are you Love? You took the easy way out, death is the easy way out, living is the hard part. Why aren't you here now, comforting me from all the loss in my life?

Sometimes, if I close my eyes especially tight and shut off all connections with the real world that is reality, I can imagine you are still here in flesh and blood, and I 'm not just left with memories and your haunting presence.

Why did you do it Love? You had so much to live for; you had me, to keep you going. I could have helped you through everything; I could have pulled you past all the bad things you'd have had to live through, why else did you think I was here.

Even through all those times that we fought and called each other nasty names, and even though we swore our hatred for one another and wrote it in blood for all to see, I found myself missing you by my side. I miss our constant bickering, I miss your smirk, and I miss the way you had the tendency of showing up and being there when I needed you the most. I miss you. Without you I'm lost, eternally trapped in a world made up of black and white, and I hate those dull, boring….dead colours, they aren't me and they weren't you.

But that's just it, weren't, you aren't here to listen and make everything right again.

Sometimes I hate you, you left me when so many people already had, and I hate you for making me feel alone and deserted, like no one cares. You didn't even say good bye, you didn't tell me you loved me before you left, you didn't say how much I had meant to you. I just wish I had the chance to hold you once again and say good bye; that I hope you thought you had made the right decision.

But the truth is, I could never hate you fully, no one could hate you Love.

'Goodbye,' I whisper onto the flowing sounds of the air dancing past, seeming to carry my words up to the sky. 'I will always love you, never forget that.'

When I next turn I see most of your haunting images have disappeared, without a trace, into the world unknown. But one of you has stayed behind. You give me a smile and step closer, when I don't even flinch, you place a sweet, innocent kiss on my forehead. 'I could never forget you,' it seemed to say.

And as happy as that makes me, it can't possibly stop the tears from running down my cheeks. And then, you too, turn and dance off into the air, the wind carrying you back to your rightful home, your heaven.

And maybe, just maybe, some day I will join you, and we can live together once more, our love ruling over the lost lands; but, until that day, Love, good bye.
