Spinning around quickly. "Hey you." You whisper.
A soft smile slowly came to her lips. "Back at you V."
Stepping forward you stopped a few inches from her. "How are you B?" You softly rose your right hand to stroke her cheek line.
She shrugged. "I'm good." Her head tilted. "How are you doing V?"
"I have been better." You answer truthfully.
"I know." She whispered. "I know."
"I miss you." You tearfully breathed out. "Oh how I miss you."
"I'm sorry." Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm ever so sorry V."
You breathed deeply. "I know you are." You wrap your arms around your waist. "Why did you have to leave me?"
"I didn't want to. I fought with everything that I had to stay with you." She chocked out between her sobs. "I wasn't strong enough."
"You are very strong Betty." You moved closer to your beloved. Wrapping your arms tightly around her. "You are here with me now." Your mouth met hers. Quickly slipping your tongue deep into the craven of her mouth.
Betty poured away capturing the sides of her beloved's face in the palms of her hands. "I'm so sorry that I'm so weak."
Your tears rolled down your cheeks. "You aren't weak B. You are here now!"
Betty faded into the shadows.
"No..." You wrap your arms around yourself as you knelt down in the shadow of the street lights. "No. Come back B. Please come back baby." Your head fell onto your knees as you sobbed heartbreaking sobs at the death of your soulmate.
