He saw her last night. She looked so beautiful that for one moment time stood still. It had been six long months since that painful evening in the park; six long months where the absence of her smile had almost driven him insane. And now, after all this time, there she was walking sown the street. She shone so brightly like a beacon in the endless darkness that is now his heart. He had avoided all the places she and her friends frequented. He had tried unsuccessfully to eradicate her memory from his life. And he had valiantly suppressed the urge to seek her and beg for forgiveness. However, he had failed miserably. So, tonight he had finally broken down and admitted at least to himself that he needed to see her. All he wanted was to catch a glimpse of her lovely countenance. All he longed for was to hear the sound of her laughter even if it was from afar.

Therefore, when night arrived he made his way to the coffee shop she worked at and waited outside. The rain was slowly falling on his shoulders drenching his tall frame. The wind played with his ebony strands and his dark blue eyes reflected the hopelessness that followed him constantly. But he craved the sight of her. Somehow he knew that seeing her would soothe his inner demons. So he waited; waited for the lights to turn off and the door to open letting his angel out. Then it happened. After six long months of agony he was once again blessed with the vision of her smile.

His breath caught at the sight of her. There was no other word for it she was beautiful. He saw the way she smiled as she said farewell to one of her coworkers and made her way to her small apartment. He envied that man for he could bask in the brilliance of her smile. He envied all those who could see her freely. All those that were able to enjoy her laughter, her sense of humor and her kindness and he cursed himself for being such a fool.

He always knew that the strongest one of them was her. And tonight seeing her for the first time in such a long absence he knew that she had moved on. That link that had tied their lives together had been severed. By his hands he had broken them apart and now she had learned to live her life without him. She looked so happy that he lost himself in the shadows; refusing to call her name.

Maybe it was better this way. After all, he had only wanted to admire her from afar. Maybe now his dreams would give him peace. Maybe now he could find a way to put her love to rest. He laughed bitterly to himself for he knew that would never happen. As long as he lived he would keep loving her, as long as he breathed the image of her face would haunt him.

He walked away shoulders hunched and defeated. It was for the best. He was glad that her life was moving forward but a part of him wished that she still ached for him. He was selfish wishing for something he knew he had no right to. However, he couldn't help it. Even if it was his fault that he found himself in that situation. At least she hadn't seen him. She hadn't seen the way he had deteriorated in the last months without her.

As he made his way back to the car he heard a small sound behind him. He almost didn't catch it until he realized somebody had called out his name. He turned to see Serena standing there her beautiful blue eyes boring into him.

"Darien?" The question hung in the night swallowed by the endless darkness.
