I miss you so much.

A touch from you on my back.

A chill went up the spine.

I jump up; looking around the empty room.

Nothing,

Just nothing.

Confused I must felt.

Sat back down at the same chair.

A touch again, reach out.

The hand now lay on my cheek.

Therefore I can not see him.

I called him

"Oh my god," I said.

He heard mine calls.

A tears flowing down my face as he wiping it away.

In between world, a time was ticking.

How can I possibly feel you?

I mean without your actual presence.

I realize of how much my desire of your last embrace.

I got my wish.

A closure I never got.

Preparing for my goodbyes.

I am not ready for this!

I misses you crazy.

I can not bear to lost you again!

If you go, my heart might never beat the same.

Determined to find a way to keep you here.

Stay!

Just a bit longer.

Stall for an extra time.

He try to speak but I could not hear.

His touch only stop me in my track.

I asked him, linger on to the love we have.

Please, do not give up!

A kiss will either bring you back

or you will vanished.
