Love

  Somewhere, underneath the thin veil of flesh covering the world around me, there was a place that waited for me. I could feel it, just below my skin, and I could hear it in her voice. It was the place that waited to take our souls when we released them from their physical prisons. I can see it, locked behind her beautiful green eyes.
  Whenever I look into those eyes, I can feel it calling out from inside of her, and I can feel that place pleading for me to release her into it. Even in my own mind, I was being told how very right it was, how very kind it would be to do this for her. I always liked being nice, and I knew I could still be with her there.
  I held her head with my hands, and gazed deep into her eyes. She looked back at me, her eyes full of love and a smile on her lips. This was the moment that I wanted to keep forever - a moment I could hold forever inside of me. Inside, I hoped it was what she wanted as well.
  I moved my hands down, and wrapped my fingers around her neck. Before she had a chance to question it, I pulled her closer and we kissed. As our lips met, I closed my hands around her neck. Still, even though she could not breathe, she held the kiss instead of pulling away. Proof, then, that she wanted this as much as I did.
  She held me tight in our last embrace, and every moment felt as though a liftime had passed. In my head, we spent more time together in those few moments than we had in the entire rest of our time together. In those moments, an eternity passed, and we became one. Even as her life slipped out of her body, I took it inside of myself, and locked it away inside of me.
  Now, there was only one way to set her free. Letting her body slide to the floor, I pulled a knife from my jacket. With steady, precide cuts, I set us free. Our souls wrapped around one another as theyu left my body, and together we allowed ourselves to be taken to a better place. It welcomed us, waiting with arms out stretched to pull us in.
  There we stayed... forever.
