She would leave, and take most of him with her.
There was nothing left to say.
Nothing left to bargain with.
Simple and clean.
Or as much as it could be.

█ "Please, please don't go..." he reached out, only to stop himself.

— "For both of our sakes, I must." her voice fracturing with sadness.

She'd float away, and take that radiant light with her.
Her tears like diamonds under the sunken sun.
An arduous departure, cause for the liquid gems.
There was no anger, no resentment.
Their time had come.
As they both suspected it someday would.
He'd give his soul for another twenty-four hours.
He knew she would too.
Some things simply couldn't be bardered for.

They loved one another so much...
They would learn how to forget.
