The new year moved toward her softly like clouds. Finding contentment in the moment she had come to accept her reality. With quiet resolve she looked on without a single hope, wish or desire.
As he stepped into view and came near to her she felt his warmth deep within her soul. The hours passed by like sand through her fingers. She wanted to squeeze them tightly aware that the perfection of the moments would leave her lonely.
They would be forever changed as they saw reflected in each others eyes the beauty they fought to see in themselves.
They shared life's fears with complete security. They gave to one another pleasure of the purest and most unselfish kind, a tenderness soft and delicate until the dawn came and the season carried him away to the place from which he had come.
Grateful for those perfect moments they spent in each others arms she smiled sweetly and then,upon one last kiss wished him happiness.
The sweet taste of his mouth began to fade and give way to a pain in her heart. As a single tear rolled down her soft pink skin she knew with certainty she would never feel this way again.
She cursed the sunrise, for it stole the dream she had carried upon her heart. It was, after all her dream to dream.

The weight on my chest while I was reading this was unbearable!!! That must mean it was good. Dang, girl, you had me at "the new year"....love this blog!!!
I'm so glad you felt it so much.
This one will be one of my favs.
I really like this line: They would be forever changed as they saw reflected in each others eyes the beauty they fought to see in themselves.
That's something we must fight to hold on to - the memory of seeing ourselves as better people through someone else's eyes.
