The Beginning

That news.
A sudden chill rushed over my body.
So cold that I can almost puke out of anxiety.

Perhaps my wait is far too long.
Perhaps God has given me his sign off.

Her body glows, from the light within.
And, she's alone.

It's my place there.
Beside her glow.

And, it's my place to protect her.
Finally.
