He knows.
Brief agonising moments, when the world was pure, and perfect. Blue eyes, filled with lost hope, scattered thoughts, but a tiny smile on her lips.
'I'm in love'
She wasn't. She hadn't been. She was practised, it was what he wanted to hear.
'I'm in love'
So white, and pale, lying in his arms. So light. A broken bird, whose wings had crumpled. On the bare floorboards, as his heart smashed. Blinding, searing pain, as her eyelashes fluttered closed.
'A life without love, that's terrible'
Her eyes dancing, a secret smile as she caught his own eyes, a discretely blown kiss, filled with energy as she moved. His.
But she wasn't.
'I'm in love'
He couldn't afford it. He hadn't the money. Diamonds would buy her, diamonds, icy, cold, pure-
Cold like her hand-
No.
He knows. She's gone. And he'll never have her again, bar those few, perfect moments when he was hers, and she was his, and they were together. Forever. Undying. But she's gone. And his love is burning. Searching for her.
'Come what may'
