She came back

She told me that she missed me and was sorry for being gone for so long, but she had this unbearable pain that kept her from living.

We embraced.

I told her that that pain we always be there, like a void, but you'll have to bare it, it's a part of you now, like a reminder of how good things once were.

We kissed. Her lip still so soft. We grab each other tightly, pulling ourselves into one another. Our teeth clashed like they occasionally did. My hand tracing the outline of her back as I remembered. I didn't want to wake up.
