The Goodbye

She ran around searching for him in the faces around her. Tears had gone cold on her cheeks, she was breathing heavily, as she checked here and there for him.

“Hey did you see him?”

“No dear.”

She continued her search, and she came out of the building.

“Please, please don’t go. Not without seeing me. Please oh please God! Where are you? Come here please….”

“Hi!” came a voice from behind her.

She turned around to see him.

“How dare you!” she hit at him. “How dare you leave without saying good-bye! You can’t just leave! Didn’t you even think of me for one second. I am not letting you go!”

She cried as she hit him.. But he didn’t defend himself or stop her.

Finally she gave up. Sobbing she looked up at him.

“Don’t go.. Don’t leave me alone. Please….”

The sadness in her voice hit him.. Her voice broke and she grabbed his shirt and cried on his chest.

He looked up at the sky. A tear of anger came out of his eye as he saw a lightning strike . “Why did you do this!” He said in his mind.

He got his arms around her, holding her tight.

He came down and kissed her head.

“Goodbye my heart. I’ll always love you. I’ll be looking down at you each moment of your life..

Goodbye”

She stumbled forwards, caught herself from falling.

She fell down on her knees, took her face in her hands…

She looked up at the vast darkness and said “Goodbye love.”
