I stand motionless in front of my bedroom window. Another day
has come and gone in my struggle without him. I try not to count
the days since his disappearance, but six months ago tonight, was
when my child was conceived. My left hand glides over my
womb, trying to savor all the comfort the moment possesses.
My eyes lift to the window.
I try to absorb my surroundings. The streetlights offer an eerie
glow on the street corners. The traffic light turns green, but
nothing moves. There is nothing to move at this hour. Outlines
of buildings are merely imprints on the dark horizon. Above,
constellations shimmer in the dark sky, creating the perfect
imagery of a childhood rhyme.
Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I
wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight.
I move my palm against the cool glass; it sends shivers down
my spine. My wish... I wish to hold him. Memories that have
been etched into my soul force my eyes to fill with tears. My
lips start to tremble, and I can feel myself looking eye to eye
at defeat. The wound of his disappearance is still fresh, and I
wonder if it will always be. Maybe it's not the not having him
here with me, maybe it's the not knowing if he's safe.
I long to see his face again... to hear his words... to feel his
touch. I swallow the lump that has formed in my throat.
Silently, I ask the forbidden question; what will I do if I
don't see him again? The threatening tears finally slide down
my cheeks. Despair wells up inside my mind, and the feeling
of dread tightens my chest like a vice.
Without thinking, I roughly pull the window open. The bitter air
sweeps across my upper body, blowing my hair away from my
face and drying my tears. I balance myself with both hands on
the window sill and lean out the window. In the howl of the
wind, I feel his silent words pulse through my veins, revitalizing
my hopes.
"I'll wait for you, Mulder. I'll wait forever," I whisper into the
eternal darkness.
