#18 Death
Raining Tear Drops
Posted-10/23/05
Death is but a hurdle into the next life. In ways you can be happy even while in the next.
She couldn't imagine leaving this world without him. He was her life, her everlasting strength, any life with out him would be a dreary one indeed.
It was dark here and it threatened to overwhelm her but she saw the glimmer of security in her once life, but was momentarily distracted by the hope of the next. One had him the other not.
One would be bright and the other extremely dull in comparison.
Her choice was clear.
But she wondered even as she waited for her exhausted body to wake up. What if she had chosen the other? What if she had embraced her terms and chosen to leave it all behind for the sake of the unknown.
She came to amends with her choice and thought of what she would do when she awoke.
She would bound back into his arms. Embrace the day and learn from this. Life was fragile and the slightest occurrence could take it away and leave you stranded with a choice of what was once and what could be.
Slowly her world slid back into focus, and her eyes met those of cerulean, worry laced.
His face broke into a bout of happiness and they held onto each other fiercer than ever thought possible.
"I almost lost you. But you came back to me."
"Hai I did."
"I was afraid you
would leave me forever."
"Silly Mamoru, I would miss your
name calling too much."
He smiled and kissed her temple. "Just don't do it again."
"I promise."
