214. For eyes that seek emptiness, drown in those of mine.




"What's the reason you are still here?"


"I came back for you."

There it is again. The thing she says that unravels the chains around his heart, brings his guard down so sudden and fast. His eyes manifested upon her porcelain skin, before shying away from her beauty. As the smell of cinnamon and summer rises from the sweet scent of her hair, she holds her to him, gently but strong. His entire being swallows her whole, crossing his arms over her back, burying his face into her shoulder, taking her in forever.

Their embrace was locked on and no being in the universe could tear them apart.

She brushed back his hair as he held her slender arm. Their foreheads touched as smiles played on their lips. He caresses her hair, and she runs her fingers through his. Their noses touched, and soon the softness of her lips was all that seared across his mind.

They were lost in a world of passion, where problems drifted away like shrivelled leaves on an autumn's day. The silence was beauty as the world crash around the place they stood. Then, she pulls apart for a breath, and then a long sigh.


"I have to go."

He smiles sadly, and held her hands like they were the most precious things in the world. She takes a step back, and another, and another. It took every ounce of his strength not to lurch forward and engulf her in his arms. Their interlaced fingers slipped through one by one, each carrying a piece of him away till the last of her was only the imprint of her soft skin.

And he knew the moment he let her go, she was gone from him forever.


Why, of all the people in the world, was the love he treasured the most stolen away by another?
