She just stood there staring at the brilliant night sky. It was so calm, so peaceful. A soft breeze blew her long luxurious hair around her, framing her fair and radiant face. But something was not right with this picture. A minute detail that a passerby would not have noticed. She was smiling oh so beautifully but ah… her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes brimming with fresh ones threatening to follow the trail of their predecessors as she gazed at the constellations. Little clusters of stars that would still be there long after her life was over.

As the cool night air caressed her face she thought of everyone that had touched her life. Her mother, father, brother, grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends from school, work, church, partying; But most of all she thought of him… the man who turned her life around.

She remembered when she first set eyes on him. How he stood there as though on stage with the world watching him. How beautiful he looked with his coat caught in the breeze showing glimpses of his tall, broad yet slender frame clad in a simple black shirt and blue jeans. How his hair framed his magnificently chiseled features. How the setting sun shone from behind him creating a halo of his hair and making him look like an angel sent from God. How his smile melted her heart and his piercing blue eyes looked straight into her soul.

"You’ve got the most unbelievable blue eyes I’ve ever seen. You’ve got me almost melting away."
"I love you always, forever. Near or far, closer together. Everywhere I will be with you. Everything I will do for you."

She closed her eyes and leaned forward. ‘I will be with you my darling.’ she thought, as she fell all fourteen floors to the ground. Alas her beloved was but an imaginary character in a novel.

Cover her face;
Mine eyes dazzle;
She died young.
