never say goodbye

She found it hard looking up at him, knowing that any moment she would have to say goodbye. Poem thought she could get lost for days in his ruby gaze, and he was sweet as he spoke her name softly. He admitted himself that he would miss all of her and alongside her sadness she felt warm and fuzzy at his words. This feeling wasn’t hers to keep alone, he didn’t want to say goodbye anymore than she did. Still, he wished to see her soon, but who know when that would really be. She tried to stop her mind from thinking about the dark what ifs. ”I hope so too.” Poem returned her gaze back to his features, a sad but soft smile playing on her features for him.

He stepped forward and she watched him, not moving until his lips pressed to her forehead. She closed her eyes and leaned into his affection before he told her to go. ”Sparhawk..” Poem felt like there was so much unsaid between them, like something wasn’t complete. The young Destruction didn’t want to leave him, but the pull of her family was strong. Abaven was close, and that was where she belonged. But she felt herself yearning to be in his arms. ”It’s hard to just ‘run along’ after..” Oh gods above was she falling in love with him?

With one worried glance she closed the distance between them and pressed her chest to his and wrapped her neck around him, holding tight and wishing she didn’t have to let go.
