Fading Star (Part Two)

Her eyes sparkled and a smile played on her lips, She looked all around the room, held her coffee, took two sips. ‘The world is still a beautiful place’, were the first words that she spoke, ‘I haven’t been here for a thousand years.’ I thought it was a joke. It was then that I really looked at her as the sun played with her hair, I knew right then that I was alone and she wasn’t really there. I was sitting with a ghost, who was worlds away from her time, She sits here alone drinking coffee, just waiting for a sign. So I raised my hat and bade her well and wished her on her way, I left her some money and smiled and then I got up to walk away. But I stopped and looked at her face to see if there was any pain, I told her in the nicest way that I hoped that I would never see her again.
