Dream of a Goodbye Kiss
I watched her day and night waiting for her to wake. I felt so helpless sitting there staring into her pale face. It was scary to see her so vulnerable while she could barely breath correctly. He wanted to do something but logic told him all he could do was be there by her side.
Unexpectedly, Roy was gently being shaken. The movement wasn't rough nor was it barely shaking him at all. It was almost as if someone was prodding him awake. He opened his eyes slowly at first then they went wide at the sight before them. The woman he had been watching over for many nights now sat up in bed looking perfectly fine. Her skin color was back to normal and an abnormal smile graced her features. She smiled so gently his heart almost melted at its fragility.
"Hello Roy." A breath escaped her lips. He looked at her amazed at how beautiful she was awake. Her breathing was back to normal. A smile began to spread across his face as he looked at her angelic expression. He was so glad she had finally awoken from her long slumber that he hugged her. At least he tried.
He flew his arms around her but felt no connection with anything solid. He waved his hand back and forth where her arm should be. Nothing but air as his arm ran through her form. Appalled at this he looked to Riza. A face was grim and she had looked away.
Roy tried hard as he could to form words, any words that could express how he felt. He was frightened at this. Riza at last glanced back at him with a weak smile.
"I love you." Riza leaned in. Although he couldn't feel her touch against his face he could feel her kiss. It wasn't desperate as he expected. It was more of a goodbye kiss. He watched her go. She dissolved into twinkling particles and circled him. The particles lost their shine and were lost in the air.
Roy didn't cry he just sat there emotional, mentally unable to comprehend anything that had happened or anything around him. He didn't want to believe it. No, he thought, not Riza, someone other than her… what am I going to do now? Roy felt pushed under water. Unable to think, unable to breathe. A voice in the back of his head said it's all the better. Then out of nowhere a female voice spoke up, don't quit now! Fight it! Fight! Roy was stunned by this voice it sounded so much like her voice. It sounded so much like Riza's lovely voice. He took a chance and listened to the reason of the female voice. Breaking up for air on the surface of the sea of misery.
Suddenly he opened his eyes to see a white hospital room his head lying on the white sheets of a bed with a cold clammy hand ruffling his hair. Expecting to see a bobbing ocean in front of him, he sprang up out of his position.
Looking around him wildly he noticed lying on the bed was Riza smiling weakly. Her hand mere inches away from where his head had been. Roy was afraid. Afraid of touching her skin to know if what he was seeing was merely another dream. On the other hand he wanted to feel the touch of her hand. The touch of the life she still had and knowing this was no dream.
Boldly he stuck his hand out as he reached for her right hand. Sheer centimeters away from her pale skin he hesitated. He was torn; he wanted to know. Roy urged his hand to move his fingers closer but they wouldn't move.
Without moving he felt a smooth surface brush his fingertips. He looked from her hand to Riza's face. It was wrinkled in effort. Clasping her hand he gentle massaged the beating hand. He feebly smiled. He caught a glance at her golden mahogany eyes. His head fell from the air onto the blanket in front of him. Silent tears streamed down his face as he felt a frail hand running through his hair. This was no dream…
