If my wish reaches you
before my body fades
Hold me tightly once again...
It was cold; so cold.
She couldn't even remember where she was, how she'd gotten there.
Faintly, she could hear a voice, someone calling to her; someone important.
She couldn't make out the words right away.
Don't die, not now you idiot! Stand up!
She recognized it now, the voice of the man she loved...
It's too late... she tried to tell him, as she gasped for breath in the vast expanse of white around her.
He pulled her to him, calling out to her, begging her to stay; to open her eyes.
Even his natural warmth was not enough to fend off the bitter cold that was enveloping her body.
Don't leave...
She thought she felt the faint tug of a smile upon her cracked and frozen lips. How ironic,that she would have the one thing she desired most within her grasp but forever out of reach...
Open your eyes...
She felt herself slipping, falling into nothingness...
