Live to eight

She would not wake… neither would I. Love; love built this scene and it ended it. It was love that convinced me to help her with any problem she faced. Not everything needed my help, but she knew how much I liked helping her. I remember waking up this morning, it was cold and the air outside full of mist. My sweet Lisa turned to me and said,

“My life has had too many downs, you’re my only up. I don’t know how I would go on with out your warm arms around Me.” then came her slow tormenting tears. “No longer do I feel a need for work, or the next electricity bill. I have met the love of my life and spent the best time with him. Yet we reached the peak long ago and no, we have nowhere to go. Just sitting at the top, but I cannot do it any moor. My love for you has not faded it is still strong. That is why I want this to end now, I just could not handle it if you where to go.”

We stayed in bed silently looking into each other’s eyes. In our late twenties we had past the past puppy love and falling into contentment. I truly love her, proving that was something we both did regularly. Weather it was by gift or hold each other for hours not counted, we knew their was no one else. Truth was is that we did not have to prove our love; our eyes always did that for us.

I held the subject, until 12:35 when I asked, what we where to do. Dieing in each other’s arms was the answer, and then we discussed how it we would go. Lisa then pulled a bottle from the top draw of her side table as if she had done it a million times. I would still have gone along with this if I had noticed the fluency. No words need to be said, the label of the full sleeping pill bottle explained everything.

For the rest of the day till 8:00 we laid together. I did not think about family or friends for we had none. We would not be missed and that was fine with us. Life had taught us one thing, its that everyone leaves in the end, we just wanted to leave together. And we did silently and in full embrace of each other. To all those who wish to follow this path, I warn you of one thing, make sure that if your partner tries this on you, swap her fakes for the reals.
She would not wake… neither would I, I made sure of that.
