Ages

It seemed like ages ago when we were at the prime of youth.  Nothing could stop our headstrong, heady days.  Together, we seemed invincible.  The cloak of strength blanketed our fears, vanquished our doubts, and we forged ahead into our future.

But when you died, cancer had robbed you of your strength and vitality.  You succumbed and submitted to the end of mortal life.  Where did time go that I should find myself exactly as you found me - alone?  Time ravages youth and in its stead, bowed by the weight of mortality, the curtain falls in a whisper.
