The shadows of our lives are not meant be illuminated.

'I love you,' he whispers. 'I always have.'

'I know,' I reply, and hold him for the pain he feels.

Nothing--everything--changes. I have followed him through time, through space, through wonder and fear, to the ends of existence and human endurance. But some places we cannot go together.

Death. Love. What keeps me from the first, keeps me from the second--I cannot give up what I am.

For the light to exist there must always be shadows. I would not give them up. Not even for him.
