Fic: Sparky - Touch
A touch.
(Wait…)
Tingling lightly, oh so lightly over her skin.
(Don’t pull away, don’t leave…)
But he does, and it’s gone as soon as it comes. He leaves her in limbo, ever wanting, and ever not.
(John…)
It’s always like this; the moments in-between are full of absence. Wanting, reaching, barely touching… and then gone.
(I miss you…)
Little sparks play around them, unforgiving in their splendor, always teasing, always.
(Please…)
No one else tears at her so completely.
(Can’t love, can’t hate…)
She feels as if she’s burning
(I love you, Elizabeth)
And drowning.
(You know I can’t stay…)
The last goodbye.
(No one ever does.)
It ends. Still close, but a now her sea is black.
It’s just a touch, just a touch…
The sparks still play around them, unforgiving in their splendor, always teasing.
Always.
