When I am Gone

Her frail old hands shake as she lifts the packets of letters. She pushes them toward the boy across from her, the beautiful, ageless boy she has loved since she was a girl of seventeen.

Theirs was an impossible love made real, but given a temporary air when he refused, again and again, to take her soul.

She knows this is the end. As she slides stack after stack into his hands, she speaks. Her voice quakes and crackles like the letters' pages.

"I wrote you one for every day I've loved you. To remember us when I am gone."
