Empty

Every second,Every minute,Every hour she thought of nothing but him.His face,his crooked smile flashed before her.The sound of his voice-deep,strong and husky rang in her ears.She couldn't accept he was dead.
Everyone said "you should move on" ,"yes" she replied "I am".
They didn't know what it was like,they didn't know how impossibly difficult it was.Did they think it was easy for her to move on? she really didn't want to know any more,not that she didn't care,she did.She still did..
One night she woke up screaming from a nightmare,there was no one to console her. She thought of waking her brother,but he seemed tired when she'd seen him during dinner,she didn't want to worry him.Leaning against the wall,she looked up at the moon,It was so serene..
She walked to the terrace and looked at the sky-a vast blue velvet blanket with little lights scattered across it,the stars shining with all their might.The wind was gentle,it was like the wind was hugging her..
Lifting her eyes,she watched the stars,they smiled down at her.She smiled back.
The wind blew through her hair,as if playing with it. "I love you" she whispered to the wind,hoping it would carry the message to him.Not expecting any response she closed her eyes
"If my heart could beat,it would beat for you" The wind whispered back..
Tears stung to her eyes again. "Your heart maybe still,but it isn't empty.It isn't silent because it speaks to me " She said.
"Live for me" He said, "even if we're a world apart,I'll know that you do and be content.I love you.."

She wept.A human heart needed to shed such a deep well of tears.She touched the gold and silver pendent he'd given her and let it empty.
