in all our searching, 

the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable

is each other.

"We all need someone, don't we?"

A fragile hand clutched the still-supple palm of the kneeling man beside her bed. 

"Most of us need more than one person, dear." 

Her wedding ring clinked gently against his as she took his hand with both her shaking hands. Now softly, he spoke. 

"You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams." She smiled up at him at this, a pleated wisp against the white linen. 

"And such horrible nightmares." Her eyes looked far off at this, as though remembering a faded memory that still stung when she pondered it. 

He squeezed her hand reassuringly. 

"You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone. In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable-" A tear fell from her eye at this.

"-Is each other." 

He nodded, before kissing her face once more and stroking her thin hair as the light died from her eyes, they slipped close, and after a breath, a sigh, she was simply gone.
