The seconds count down like rainfall from an endless grey sky. It's not enough. There's never enough. I could spend a lifetime lost in this sweet embrace- An eternity counting the gentle beats of your tender heart As it lay softly pressed against mine. I could spend forever in this moment, And still it would not be enough. I held you in my arms with a kiss gently placed against your ear- Not having the strength to look into your sad sullen eyes- And whispered, with slow quivering lips: &quot;Two years. Here. Again, in two years.&quot; ... Like fingertips tracing an unseen path down the side of my face, I felt your tears. The words you spoke barely audible, But so filled with pain and heartache: &quot;Promise. Promise me.&quot; And so I did. And so it was, My last gift to you, A promise. Do you remember? 2007-12-12T23:58:37Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/15749 <p>This is all so sweet and emotional.
