Don't Forget Me

She stood watching everyone mill around, talking and drinking.
Her gaze followed him as he talked with those around him.
This was not something she thought would happen.
He was leaving.
The party was to celebrate his going away.
Away from here.
From her.

She tried not to notice his glances her way.
The room was getting too hot. Her heart pounded.
Another one bites the dust, she thought as she set her drink down and stood.
Everyone leaves.
Once outside she took a deep breath of the crisp air and let it out slowly.
Her heart was racing with fear and then slipping into aches of terrible sadness.
One thing she never wanted to do was hold him back.

Goddess, how could this even be an issue for her. She needed to get a grip.

"We won't forget each other, right?" she whispered to the night sky with one tear sliding down her cheek.

"Never." was the response whispered near her ear. She whirled around to see him there.
She ceased to breathe as she looked up into his blue eyes.
Without a thought she threw herself into his arms.
Her face pressed into his chest and she reveled when she felt his arms tighten around her.
His scent swirled in her head and she knew in this moment she did not want to let go. She could give a fuck what he thought now, she needed to memorize the feel of his body against hers and the way he smelled for this would be it. Nothing ever again.
