Embrace

By Jules

It wasn't supposed to be this way

She was supposed to be invincible . . .

She was supposed to live forever

I learn that I loved her

But she's gone

I was supposed to die first, so I wouldn't lose her

I am not supposed to be standing here alone

With out my heart, my soul, the reason I live

The stake was meant for my heart

But she jumped in front of it

My love, my light, my life . . .

I can't be here alone

I will spend eternity with her

I have never understood why mortals fear death

I will embrace it and her on the other side

The sun rose above the rooftops of LA's harsh world, and with one bright flash of light, the only vampire that had a soul joined his soulmate on the other side.

In the wind you could hear his whisper, "Cordelia."
