Time can take everything, I was used to it by now, yet I’ve had such trouble letting you go.

I’ve let go of pets, family members, my years as a kid, but you? You’re different. The place you hold inside my heart is stronger than anything I’ve felt.

But now, time has decided to take you from me.

You can’t stop it, you can run from it, so why fight it? It’s unreasonable to fight the looming threat of death, but the ache in my heart feels so much

more real than the thought of you leaving me.

As death pulls you closer, I sink my claws in. The thought of never seeing you again is scarier than anything I’d faced.

You were the light that showed me through the dark, you put the smile on my face.

Without my sun, I’ll be left in complete darkness. And darkness is the only thing I have if not you.

Even as you’re teared away from me, I fight it. I kick and scream but it’s no use. You’re gone. The clock no longer ticked, your heart no longer beat.

Our time was out.
