a little twisted reality
"do you see this?" she said softly, raising her hand to eye level. He watched her open and close her fingers a few times to emphasize her comment, and he nodded silently.
"This," she said, stretching her fingers again, "is me. This," she plunged her fist into the river and brought it back up to his face. "is Reality. No matter how hard I try to reach it, i can never hold on for long, but it is always there." She tried several more times to cup some water in her hand, to no avail. After a while she simply sat there, fingers dangling just over the water's surface, watching the reality dripping off her hands.
The light reflecting in her normally vibrant hazel eyes looked golden in the afternoon sun...he wanted her more now than he ever had before, but he knew she was leaving in a year...he knew she would never stay for him.
