Letting Go

I held her close
Gently caressing her cascading tresses
Our hearts in synchronous rhythm
Beating to the tune of an unknown song
Her eyes of limpid blue
Held mine of softer brown
In captivity
Unwilling to let go
Longing for eternity.

She smiled
And sighed
And let go
Her soft breath forever!

Thank you, Andrea. I really do not wish this on anyone, though, except in the movies, perhaps.
