The Tattoo On Her Arm

prologue

I was waiting in the same spot I always did. My legs dangling over the edge of the cliff. Here is where I lost a piece of myself. Here is where I lost everything that I loved. And I knew that I would never be able to get that back. But every night since that event took place I came here. And every night I would sit on this cliff overlooking the dark shadows that now consumed the once bright area. The wind whipped annoyingly at my face. And tiny flashes of the night flashed through my mind. The smell of the smoke that consumed the land. The sight of him- I shut down the thought for the fear of tears came to my eyes. But that was the reason I would come here. The reason I couldn't leave this place alone. Because sometimes he would visit me here. But tonight. He was nowhere to be seen. And I silently wonder why. Was he bored of me that quickly? Maybe he is keeping me waiting because he still likes the way I look in the moonlight... Well, whatever the reason is I will sit here till he comes. I don't care how long it takes. I need to see him one more time. Even if this is a sign of me going crazy and this is only in my head. I don't care. I rub my finger across the smooth bracelet that he gave me so long ago. I've had it for years and I will never take it off. Ever. I look down at the ground. His words still echo in my head. "You should forget about me." He would always say before he leaves. But he has always shown up when I've come before. Why should tonight be any different? I sigh. "I will always love you," I whisper to myself and a tear escapes from my eye and makes it way down my check. But I don't whip it away. I don't want to. "I will never forget about you. I just can't." I look back up into the inky black sky. And I will wait here. Forever if I must.
