Hurting
Her heart is hurting terribly
 She doesn't want to say good bye to him
 She doesn't want him to go
 But she doesn't want him to die either
 
 She holds his face right in front of hers
 Her voice is choking as she says
 "I love you so much"
 
 He nods solemnly as he replies
 "I love you too"
 A tear runs down his face and she wipes it off
 "I don't want to leave you"
 
 She shakes her head and shhs him
 "I know
 But I have so many people here
 I'll be safe"
 
 He nods
 "Can't you come with me?"
 
 She gives a small laugh, skaking her hand
 "You know it doesn't work like that
 I wish I could though
 You'll be just fine without me
 I know you will"
 
 He takes out the necklace she gave him for good luck
 Years earlier, when they first met
 It was her first gift to him
 
 He tries to hand it to her
 She takes it and puts it back
 In his hand
 Closing his fingers over it
 Softly, she says
 "Give it to me when you come back to me"
