Untitled (or, Reminescence on the Life of Gold)

Spike reflects on Julia and her (impact on his) life. Short, one-shot. SpikexJulia

disclaimer: i dont own cowboy bebop, because if i did i wouldnt be writing poor fanfiction for it. and
i sadly dont get any monetary profit from this.

AN: yes, i know that some of this makes no sense. in case you were curious, i AM a native speaker
of english. i just get confused sometimes, heh

And the fading light of the day comes in through the narrow slats on the window. Sometimes it makes

patterns of gold on the wall opposite, but not today. Today the coldness in people's hearts has snuck

outside and spread itself around. Gold is only present in the room in the form of her hair. Life is only

present in the room in the form of her. She's glowing with the beauty of life. Sometimes I sit and think

our love will be the death of us (or at least of me). Sometimes I sit and think our love will be the only

way we shall have truly lived.

...

She's a mirage, sometimes. Someone I think is there. A move to touch, and the realization that its not

the presence of light that sometimes makes the patterns of gold on the wall opposite. Its the presence

of that which impedes the light that makes the patterns of shadow on the wall opposite. If the slats of

the window were not present to shade, neither would the golden streaks of light. So it is with her.
