She stood alongside her open window. The soft breeze gently blowing away the last few traces of sadness from her eyes. Her moist cheeks tingled from the cool air. Her mouth held shut. Such a beautiful autumn sunset, painting the sky endlessly with pinks and rich golds. Even a sight like this didn't stop the tears from streaming down her face.
She closed her eyes, forcing out the last few drops. Then brushed them away from her cheeks with her hands. She took a deep breath. That will be the last time, she told herself, tomorrow everything will be different.
She looked out again at the beautiful view. She slowly slipped her hand in her pocket. It was filled with ripped pieces of paper. She grabbed a handful, making sure all were there. She held that arm out the window, the cool breeze tickling her skin, making her hair stand on end.
Taking another deep breath, she opened her hand. The pieces of paper started to fly away, caught by the breeze. There he went. "He was carried away; his words which amazed me, his voice which awakened me, his smile that calmed me...". And there she stood, what a beautiful autumn sunset. She watched till the final glimpse of gold had set and disappeared.
Love me for what I am not. Then leave me with a kiss.
