VANISHED
She has vanished. Sydney, the woman whom I'd loved and adored for years, the woman I only recently was able to love openly, was gone.
I lost her. I can't believe I've lost her, when I only just got her.
I remember the first time I saw her, prowling in like an angry hyena; her hair-that insanely red wig, her eyes crazed and wild. Yet there was something alluring about her, even in that beaten, disheveled state. An intensity I had never before witnessed in a human being.
As the years passed and she pulled off the impossible time and again, I tried to contain my emotions. But she won me over. Her vulnerability, her strength, her beauty. I could never look at another woman and see the vast range of color that Sydney had. Women were shadows next to her.
And now we haven't heard from her in weeks. I pray for the best, but the cold fist of fear inside of me tells me my prayers are futile.
I look into the streets, hoping one day to discern her face again. But I am hoping against hope.
For she has simply vanished.
