You need only say the word, and I'll come to you
He lied…
That's all she can think of whenever he manages to wheedle himself into her mind. He manipulated her, made her think that he cared for her, and left her like a broken chess piece.
At least that's what she convinced herself of in order to keep moving on with her life.
The nightmares come and go most nights, but she can remember in the beginning when he first left how she would wake up screaming in the night, grasping for something to bring her back to reality. She couldn't count how many times she had woken up to find that she really wasn't on some far off Italian coast eating lunch with him. The countless times she had woken up screaming his name after seeing him get killed had taken its toll on her before long.
Slowly, she had distanced herself from her social circle of friends until she had none left. She didn't go out anymore. Instead she stayed at home, mourning his loss. She drifted through life without living.
All she had was her job and the broken memories that he had left her with. Its been years since she last set eyes on him or heard his voice. Each minute, each hour, each and every day she has needed him.
And he has never come.
