I said quietly, placing my head on his chest. "I am ready. I am. Come on. They are just over there." His voice was breaking but he was still struggling to pull it together. I retrieved the flowers from the floor. It was like a whirlpool of melancholy. There was a coldness that was associated with these surroundings. A coldness that made me feel so hollow. I was wearing a few thousand dollar coat, yet I could still feel the chilly air dancing on my skin, freezing me on the inside. The atmosphere was gloomy and morose.

It settled deep in my bones, heavy and cold, like the world had lost its color. The sky turned shades of orange and red, bleeding into the horizon, but it felt mocking. Beautiful and cruel while my mate was out there somewhere, suffering. I stood still on the balcony, wind tugging at my clothes, the cool evening air carrying the faint salt from the distant sea. I watched the sun sink lower, my chest tight with a grief I couldn't name.

Does she feel the same? I wondered where she was and what she was doing, and if she ever thought of me. The darkness seemed to press in around me, making it hard to breathe, and hard to think. I was drowning in a sea of loneliness, with no lifeline in sight. Every wave of grief crashed over me, threatening to pull me under. I clung to the memories of our time together, holding on to them like a life raft in a stormy sea.

Though I know I should move on, start anew, The pull of her absence, it cuts me through, For love's not just joy, but the pain that it brings, A bittersweet melody, where heartache sings. So I linger in shadows, lost in the past, Clutching onto memories, hoping they'll last But deep down I know, it's time to let go, To embrace the unknown, to let new love grow.

Some say that Angels mourn for us when we are unable to weep our own tears. When the pain becomes so overwhelming that we are afraid that if we let the tears fall, they will drown us in our aura of misery.
