Close your eyes
Close your eyes.
Can you see?
I'll be right beside you.
A gasp echoes through the dark room as she snaps awake, sweat glistening off of her skin in the moonlight. The lingering haze of her dream fades from her mind as she glances mutely around the wide room.
She shivers slightly, shoving off a thick comforter to slip out of bed onto her dark carpet, and pads quietly to the window that she could not remember opening.
All that is left of the moon in the night sky is a meager quarter. Stars shine almost as brilliantly as she remembers they are supposed to. The chill breeze that plays with her long mahogany locks reminds her why she stood up in the first place.
She closes her eyes a moment, letting the wind rush over her. She can almost catch a familiar song in the air, and she leans out of the window to hear it more properly.
The sound is gone as quickly as it arrives, and she gives a faint sigh, gazing out across the stars toward the city she once thought she would forever call her home.
A hand appears on her shoulder, and another runs along her bare arm to clasp over the gum ball ring on her middle finger.
I'll wear it as a sign for you.
A promise between us.
No one else will ever know.
A tear burns down her cheek, unnoticed. Soothing murmurs reverberate against her neck, and the hand on her shoulder travels to her silky nightgown in an attempt to bring her back to the present.
She leans into the form behind her, resting her head on a solid shoulder, picturing in the darkness a man who had called her by another name, one who had whispered impossible promises and futures neither one of them could believe.
All of my life.
The one promise I'll keep to you.
I'll love you with my dying breath.
Forever away. A thousand lifetimes ago.
She breaks away from the form as he speaks her name, still so foreign in her ears. She smiles at him in the darkness, and all is forgiven. He can't make out her tears in the shadows as she beckons him back to bed.
He smiles at her, and she runs a hand along his short hair. He promises her a family and a home and a life, she believes him.
He promises her his lifetime.
She closes her eyes and turns away from him.
Close your eyes.
Can you remember?
I'll never leave you.

AN: Annnd. Right back into angst. Okay. I blame this on Desert Rose playing. Not much of an excuse. But eh.
