She was just lying there waiting for her final call.
Her pale skin covered in white silk gave way to the beauty of her constitution and this one would tremble at the touch of helping hands around her.
Her eyes partially closed would glance around but only blurry shapes she could discern, for somehow she knew her light was fading away... her time was coming.
Warm tears for not wanting to leave would run through her pale cheeks... and her hands, shaking...would grasp tightly those caring and loving hands of her beloved one, as if trying to hold on to this world.
He would shed his tears for her, but vainly, as all cards were laid, and lights were fading, and only mournful cries would fill up the air, and whispers would sound on her ears begging her not to abandon this world.
She slowly felt a cold sensation taking over body and her grasp grew stronger trying not to let go.
Her mouth drying up, would whisper unheard words to the air but they would only sound clearly into her beloved’s heart and soul, for they would be as if carved in him:”I will love you till the end of time”.
As gasping for a bit of air, she let go. Coldness possessed her and a last sigh was released and her beloved’s mournful tears would bathe her skin, her lips, and his love and lamentations for her would fill up the room.
He just embraced her so delicately as if holding the most beautiful angel in the world, and a whisper, so beautifully sweet came out of his mouth in the words “I will love you till the end of time, my love”
