Author's Note: The two parts that came together to inspire this story are going to be here in the prologue, and in the first chapter. This part is something that started out as a sentence or two in my head that wouldn't go away one night until I wrote them down. And it developed from there. Sorry this part is so short, guess it's more of a teaser than a prologue, but... nyah! :p Enjoy.
Going to try and use a quote for each chapter. I love quotes. I collect them... a lot of them.

June 2006
Have you ever experienced one of those kisses that are just so sweet and tender that it shakes you to the core? It's something that changes you forever... It's nothing you've ever felt before, but somehow, you just know. Like seeing gray for the first time in a world of vibrant color. Like the shades of sunset painting the sky, wrapping you in a world of warmth and pastels, but still that gray creeps ever closer.
You're not sure what to make of it, what it means, so you sink further into that vibrancy, that heat. You fall in, and give yourself to it completely.
Your whole world, your heart and soul are in that kiss.
That moment.
The person you're sharing it with becomes imprinted on your very being.
No matter how far apart you may be, for how long... their presence is always with you. As close as if they were at your side, able to reach out at any moment and take your hand.
It's only later that it finally hits you what the gray was. What it meant.
It was goodbye.
