I selfishly ran my fingers through his soft hair, wishing that he could forget reality as easily as I did. He placed his hand in mine, and without a single word, we fled. The rush of the chilling wind stole the breath from my lungs. We had never been so free! But was it really freedom? No.. we were no more than slaves.. Slaves to each other and to the power that held us together. It was out of our control. We had no other purpose then to simply exist. I feared that heartache and disappointment were all we had to look forward to. Young, foolish romance had ruined our lives and we had ruined each other. And in the shadows of the morning, our spirits left us and we disappeared.

The End.
