Rating: G

Summary: He's her phantom limb.
He's her phantom limb.
A presence that's always there. In the pictures she refuses to put away, even though she cries every time she glances into his smiling face. In the clothes she can't bare to part with, even though others need them more than she does. In the cologne she sprays, just so she can close her eyes and imagine him there with her. Wrap herself up in his scent for just a single moment in time.
He's the ghost hidden in the corner of her eye.
Sometimes, she believes, if she can just turn her head quick enough, sharp enough, she'll catch him there and he'll be more than just her phantom. Her ghost. More than just the things he left behind. Pretend and loneliness won't have to be played anymore.
Then he'll be real.
He'll stay.
