Together at Last

She was exposed to the elements as she closed the squeaking door behind her. Allie raised her face towards the moon which made it seemed as if everything else was dead. She looked at it for a long time- world to world- person to person- person to world. Even though it was a new year, a new season, she felt failed, like the sun or the stars. She knew what everyone said was true about how you never know when you’re in the right place at the right time. Was she? What was were purpose to still be here? At one point you realize if it’s true that everyone must fight alone. She thought about the million-dollar question for a while as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. For a minute everything else disappeared. She didn’t want to destroy his memories, she needed them- needed them like the sun needs the stars. The wind blew against her cool skin and for a moment it almost felt like they were together again.
