Seance Suddenly

You're lying in bed next to him.
His warmth is unmistakable.
You would do anything for him.
And he knows you love him.
And you know he loves you.
And it doesn't make sense, but it works.
You're rolling over to sleep.
A shortness of breath.
A clutch of the chest.
A flash of light.
Suddenly, there are sirens.
The view from the ceiling is unreal.
The neighbors are watching, wondering, mouths covered.
The night is quiet, aside from the crimson light cutting through it.
Emergencies can be so noisy.
There are hands trying desperately to bring life.
All hands on dead.
And it hits.
As you watch from the ceiling, mouth covered.
And there's a flash.
And there's a crowd.
And there's relief.
And he's crying, and he won't let go.
This is the first time you've seen him like this.
And you're sure he loves you.
And he'll never let you go.
