Love

By Chris

Bitch.

She's leaving. She's really leaving.

I knew this had to happen, sooner or later.

The sex wasn't going to hold her forever. I knew I should have kept it rough. She can't take it gentle - it's too real for her.

The hell of it all is that I have to let her go.

I didn't think it would hurt this much. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved and all that rot.

Why did she have to make it worse?

She apologized, you know. To William, anyway.

Git.

He's dead. Been dead for more than a century. She's apologizing to a dead man. Wonder if she sees the irony in that?

But it's the first time she's ever apologized to me. First time she's seen me as anything other than a beast.

How could she hand me that, then just walk away?

Bitch.

She'll be back. She's waking up. Wants to live. About time.

She's going into the light right now. Wants to stay there forever. I can't go there.

She needs me. She can't have what she wants - all sweetness and light, clear and simple. Soldier boy knew that. She's not normal; she never will be.

Fool.

But the dark won't stay down forever. When it comes, then she'll see.

I'll wait.

Love.
