Locking eyes with the person sitting opposite you, you see into the future. But it's not what you expected.

Write a story carrying on from where the prompt left off

Eyes

In her eyes I’ve always seen the depths of the universe. From the moment I met her, her eyes held me, but now looking into her eyes, her eyes were letting me go.


Did I go too far?


My affair was meant to keep us together. An unfortunate side-effect of being in the spotlight and being with her. Sacrifices must be taken to get salvation. I used to see my salvation in her eyes. The blue eyes I could fall in to.


Now I realize that I fell so far that she couldn’t follow, and so instead I drowned while she floated away. And with that I couldn’t even see her eyes anymore.


Little did I know that the next time I would see those eyes, it would all change again.
