Summary: (Drabble) An after-death 1st person fic.
You're so close. I can feel what little warmth is still contained within your motion-less body though our clothing. For some reason, that alone gives me a small ray of hope in all this darkness. It lets me forget all the pain that has passed between us; I can almost pretend that none of this ever happened.
You are so close, that when I think back to your last moments, to the person who took you away from me, I can't help but forgive him. You rarely stayed this close to me, for so long, in life. It's a sad fact, I suppose, but it might be one of the reasons why I stay. You never asked me to stay with you after death, I wonder what you would think if you knew.
You're so close, but then I open my eyes. Your eyes are closed, and will stay that way for eternity. Your body is completely still; the most relaxed I have ever seen you, because you no longer draw breath. The warmth that causes hope to linger inside me is slowing leaving you. I suppose, if I were human, these facts would make me want to cry, I settle for kissing the top of your head and tightening my embrace. You got what you wanted, and I'll try to be content with that.
You may be close, but our distance is killing me.
