Written In Your Heartbeat

Holding her hand out, Aliah closed the small place between her and her only love. Forever she had waited for this moment; the moment where his lips would graze hers and she would fall dutifully into his strong arms.

"Come to me, love," he said holding both arms out. His eyes were a beautiful alabaster and glowed in the darkness.

She could almost feel his arms around her, sliding up and down her back, cupping her body closer. The warmth of his body would come to her through her dress and bodice. And finally, through all these years, they would be together. Just her and him. Forever and always.

"I love you," she whispered coming into contact with him. But as soon as they touched, he disappeared. Leaving her alone once again. Alone to wait another hundred desperate years.
