Title: The Unspoken Goodbye

There really is no reason for me to think about how all of this came to be. All I care to remember at this moment is that I used to burn for her and my fire was contagious. At first I was all passion and desire. I always knew that if I ever felt anything more for her than lust she would leave me forever. It was our unspoken agreement and tonight I have broken it.

Tonight I don't wait for her to come to me. Instead I seek t her out, find her and gently ask her to come with me. She looks into my eyes and I know they have betrayed me, shown too much of the feelings I hold for her. Smiling sadly she follows me until we are in her room. There is no battle for dominance this time, no bruising kisses, no nails digging into flesh. Most importantly, there are no secrets. I know that I love her and I know that she sees it too. I know that tonight will be the last time I hold her close to me while we slowly catch our breaths. I know she will leave me tonight, and I will let her go.

She crawls from the bed, dark sheets wrapped around her naked form. Starring out of the window, the moonlight caressing her skin, she says to me, "I was meant to be free, Kim."

"I know." Sitting up, I begin to put my clothes back on as slowly as I can. I want to savor her smell, the warmth that I still feel on my skin and the taste she left on my lips.

Gazing at the dark hair falling onto her pale shoulders one last time I close my eyes before whispering, "I love you, Shego."

"I know." Her voice is soft, barely audible. She doesn't turn around and I don't expect her to, even as I open the door and walk away.
