Music played softly in the background. Her eyes looked imploringly at him. He met her gaze. Silent words pass between the two. Strengthened bond will soon be tested. They squeeze in one last lover's embrace. She turns. He watches as she slowly moves away. With each step she took, he felt his world crumbling around him. He watched her. Each step became more painful. Would he ever see her again? Would she remember his touch? Would her desire still burn with the distance between them? She was only feet away, yet he felt like she was out of reach. Tears welling up. Emotions mixed. Love so deep and strong. Loss of her pressence. His control of his emotions failed when she turned for one last look. Her beauty...so sweet. Her eyes begging him to join her. His tears streamed down his face. This was unfamiliar to him. Never has he felt anything like this. Connected. Loss. The Unknown.
