Last Goodbye

She walked to the casket with downcast eyes. She knew everyone was watching her, and she held back a tear. Slowly bending to her knees before the coffin, she gently fingered the small pendant around her neck. A teardrop sapphire on a fine gold chain. Remembering how happy they had been, she smiled sadly. She squeezed her eyes shut and thought of the times they spent just laughing and talking. Sometimes they would sit alone together, and never say a word. All that mattered was that they were together.

Standing slowly she wiped away a tear and turned to face them. They watched her with sympathetic eyes as she strolled down the aisle. She stopped at the door and turned toward the coffin. “Love you,” she whispered to the breathless body beneath the wood, and she sat on the steps outside the chapel crying tears that never came.
