The evening is late, it's almost morning, and yet we still wait in the shadows.

Just waiting.

I'm so far away from him, I know I'm drifting farther every day. I hide behind my arrogant and conceited mask I put on every morning. I've been hurt once, I will not let myself be hurt again. I push everyone out, even him, refusing to let myself love anyone. I thought he had accepted it, but I was wrong, I guess. There was a glint in his eye… like there used to be when we were still together, carefree. A glint I knew well, and automatically responded to, before I could stop myself.

He teases, I laugh.

He chases, I run.

We ran into the meadow, Elizabeth's Meadow, the one I steadfastly refuse to allow anyone to enter. He catches me, and we fall to the ground. And we are together, and the meadow is full of gasps, and sighs, and laughs, and moans. I am with him again, my love, no longer looking down at him, but looking up, my eyes closed, my breathing hard. He catches my mouth with his.

It has been so long.

I have almost disappeared beneath the proud outer shell, but tonight, I am his, for one last time. He whispers my name in my ear, and I gasp. As he moves, he whispers my name over and over again; it's all I hear.

All sense of time is lost.
