Tears before bedtime

caliente_ukI don't know where this came from, but I had to write it. Too long to be a drabble, but too short to be a ficlet.
Goodbye My Lover
He had known this day was going to come, but he still wasn't ready for it. He'd never be ready for it. How was he going to live without her? For all of these years they'd stood side by side. They'd been everything to each other. Fought, fucked, lived and loved together. She was still as beautiful to him now as she'd been on the night they first met.
"Buffy?" He reached out to take her hand.
The hand she placed in his was no longer smooth and soft. It was the hand of an old woman. But not to him...never to him. To him it was the hand of the woman he loved. The woman he was going to have to say goodbye to.
"I love you, Spike"
He could hear her heartbeat begin to slow. It was almost time.
"I know you do, pet. I love you, too."
And then she was gone.
I've come to the realisation that although I love to read happy fic, I'm incapable of actually writing it. :)
