The Moment
Krystal's POV
I loved him.
I still love him.
And he loves me.
I can sense him even now, on the other side of the wall at my back. No one knows I'm here; they never do. But I can't possibly live without knowing he is safe.
His sadness is overwhelming. Even with my best emotional defenses, I still weep with him.
----------
"I love you, Krystal. There is nothing that I wouldn't do to make you happy."
And then that fateful moment. I would have given up my life if I could only stay in that instant in time forever. That touch had awakened such a fire in me. In my mind, I could feel his spirit experience the same sensation as my own, pushing my pleasure higher.
Oh, why must such moments end?
Our lips parted. For a moment, my mind still fluttered in the afterglow.
But then, "That's what makes this so difficult."
In an instant, I sensed his heart change, and I knew.
I pleaded with all my soul. "The only thing I need to be happy is have you next to me."
"It's too dangerous. If I ever lost you, I don't know what I'd do," he said.
He turned then, his voice becoming deaf to my cries.
In one blow, my world crumbled. I had spent years alone, roaming the galaxy and helping any that needed it. For all that time, I never realized how much I was in distress.
That changed when I met Fox. Here was a creature I knew was the one for me, one that could save me from my isolation.
But once again, I was alone.
----------
Love is a cruel mistress.
We are so close in body, but we might as well be light-years apart.
Perhaps it would be better if we were. Then I may not feel so much agony.
I try to convey a sense of peace as much as I can. But it's useless.
We still love each other, and we both know it. But for this, would it be better to simply not love at all?
Oh, to simply be together again. When we may finally be one, even such agony will be worth it.
