long flowing dress that you're in. Or the light coming off of your skin. The fragile
heart you protected for so long. Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong. It's not your

knowing that this can't go on forever. Likely one of ous will have to spend some days alone.

vampires and death was a joke. We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke and
laugh at all the lovers and thier plans. I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand. Maybe

Maybe we'll get forty years together. But one day I'll be gone, or one day you'll be gone.
