The rain soaked into my fur, I looked at you with pleading eyes.
"Please Maya, don't do this."
Even now, you looked so beautiful. You took a deep breath, shuddering with pain at the intake. I could see the angst in your eyes as you looked toward the limp body of the Absol.
"You were in danger," you replied, looking up at me. My heart felt like it would disintegrate.
"But your life was worth so much more than mine! You never did anything to deserve this! I should be laying here!"
Your blood-soaked chest heaved, and you spoke again.
"Toby. Listen to me; you don't know what you deserve. I abandoned you; you did not abandon me. I was not considerate."
There was a long silence. I wanted to argue with you…I wanted to so much. I couldn't find anything to convince you though. So I buried my face in your fur, tears silently falling, listening to your quickly slowing breathing. I knew you didn't have much time left.
I wanted to tell you everything. I wanted to tell you how much I loved you. But there was no time.
Time…what a horrid word. It gives us limits. It breaks our hearts. And, worst of all, it never dies.
But then again, neither does love. I looked at your body, now drained of life. I felt so pathetic. There was nothing I could do, but that was no excuse. You were everything to me, the light and the love of my life. I had been horrible to you. You were perfect. You were so much better than me. So much more valuable. So now, as I sing my song of sorrow, I have one more thing to say, something that I've felt forever for you, even since we were Vulpix and Growlithe.
I will love you forever.
A/N: Another drabble. Again, please R & R. I suppose this is more depressing then the last. May jerk tears for the faint of heart. Hope you like!
